Thanks for the ideas, Jon! If I find a good algorithm, I'll post it here, if someone is interested.

If you can define what it means to be "the outline polygon," that would get you closer to an algorithm. Write down a number of cases on paper. Draw what you think should be the resulting polygon. Try to figure out what rule you, yourself, use to create that polygon. For example, you can start with the polygon that consists of all the shapes -- this is a polygon; it's just disjoint. Now, you probably want it to be connected. That's one requirement right there. How would you go about connecting those shapes? The answer to that question is not well defined, either, but it's a start.
