I'm not privy to why they aren't built into POV-Ray, but I have just 
recently put together a macro that creates a sphere sweep-like object 
along a bezier spline (including interpolation of radii).  I was 
planning on putting it up in the object collection with a set of macros 
sometime, but I can post it by itself sooner if there's any interest.

I've also been pondering how best to create a standalone spline-like 
macro using the same method.
