I think I know, at least in the abstract, how to solve this problem:
1) Get the bounding box of the Shape.
2) Outset the bounding box by 1px.
3) Scale a copy of the Shape to be bounded by the outset of the bounding box.
The scaled Shape is the correct border, I think. The only trick is finding
the right scale factor. I'll see about this tomorrow evening, maybe.
