Research direction
Start with Basemap.tissot and Polygon handling for the Mollweide projection, then compare the existing tissot-related approach in examples/allskymap.py. Reproduce the case where an object crosses the limb and determine the expected behavior; the issue does not define a concrete acceptance condition beyond addressing the edge-crossing problem.

Description
There seems to be a known problem with tissot and Polygon in the 'Mollweide' projection with basemap when these objects cross the 'limb' (180 degree line if the central longitude is 0. which is both the East and West edges of the map). The obvious solution is of course to split this into two polygons split at the limb. I realized that this was actually already available in examples (for tissots):
https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/blob/master/examples/allskymap.py
and am wondering if there are plans to eventually replace Basemap.tissot or if there are deeper problems with this.
