Neither would I.

Ink bottles also can have labels which is another issue I am struggling 
with.  Though it should be possible to generate some uv coordinates for 
simple cases.

But there are graver issues with the usability of the macro which makes 
me question its overall usefulness. Afterall this bottle could be 
modelled and exported from a mesh modeller in 15 minutes, tops. For 
instance, the positioning and rate of the transition from a 'sided' 
cross section to round cross section of the neck is presently 
interdependent with things like the density of the mesh.

Here is another bottle, and some ink in the earlier one
