you could create two splines, one for the position and the other one for 
rotation and simply create many instances of your mesh along the spline. 
the problem is that you need an awful lot of objects to make it look 
smooth. i did this a while ago to make something like a woven piece of 
cloth and it had about 5k objects just for one strand of wool, so it's a 
rather ineffective way...
