hmm, you obviously haven't used splines very often...the only freeware/shareware
program that comes to mind that REALLY does splines, spline extrudes, and
loft/skinning- all NURB related functions...a translational sweep, in most
programs, is simply called an extrusion. A tapered sweep is an extrusion to a
point...but not a loft. A loft, AFAIK, is connecting twosplines to create a NURB
cage.
