How are the S and T's calculated in Auto mode?

OpenGL OpenGL: Advanced Coding

To get the cheap enviroment mapping effect, I can do:
glTexGeni(GL_S, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_MODE, GL_SPHERE_MAP);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_S);
-same of T
-draw polys

Now how are these S and T values calculated?
Anyone know the algorithm?
Where to find info on it?

Is there a way to extract those automatically generated values?

A good description of spheremapping and other techneques is given in the file GDC2K_ShadingComputations.pdf that can be found under http://www.nvidia.com/Marketing/Developer/DevRel.nsf/bookmark/486693A161C04F3D882568A500827B15
