Hmm, using a 3d spline(with angle for the 3rd dimension) to control the 
points of the spline-interesting idea. I think it might be very 
difficult to write this as a patch, though.
However, it would be possible to write a macro to generate a mesh, using 
one of the spline patches would make that a lot easier.
