This is incredibly useful.  torpatch suffers from being 
an external application : it can't be incoporated
into parameterized models and can't be used for animations.

I should be able to use it in my bicycle model for the
brake and derailler cables... I was going to use the spherical
extrusions in POVTM (in effect, a superset of what your macro
provides), but POVTM crashes on my rear derailler :).
Now I just need to upgrade my code to POV-pi compliance....
