Description

(this is more a feature request than a true issue...)

Reading the documentation from ClipperLib, this library supports Minkowski sum and difference:

http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper/documentation/Docs/Units/ClipperLib/Functions/MinkowskiSum.htm

However these are not interfaced by Clipper.jl. I looked up a bit and neither are they present in libcclipper (this is not surprising). Since these two functions are quite useful, it would be nice to have them exported in Clipper.jl!

Research direction

Start by reviewing Clipper.jl's current exported interfaces and checking whether libcclipper exposes the MinkowskiSum and MinkowskiDifference functionality described in the ClipperLib documentation. Determine the available function signatures and integration path, then verify that both operations are exposed from Clipper.jl and usable by callers.
