The bulge can be an asset (Faberge' Eggs for instance), but personally, I can't stand it. I agree, that squeezing isn't always the right answer. I actually preferr just blending normal result with the Droste one (cleaning if you will) the center like I did for this example, but it does require work. Programs like Artmatic (MAC only; was lead to this on another forum that I frequent) can do these automatic and without the bulge. Oh well, for a poor man's try, I'll keep with what I've been doing. :)

I love it!!! You get such cool stuff out of plug-ins and scripts. Hope you don't mind me playing with your image. I put it through the Harris effect in PhotoMaster's tutorial.
