  Spirals with rectangular cross section

Hi all,

Whats the easiest way of making a spiral which follows the surface of a
cylinder. The only way I can see is to sweep lots of boxes through the
spiral. ie like a sphere_sweep but with a rectangular cross section.

Thanks
jim
-is there an isosurface solution? - although I have a slow computer and the
scene will be rendered with radiosity which may make the render time
unacceptably long :(
