There is no spiral object in POV, so you have to place objects (or points)
'smartly'. A blob or many spheres would do the trick in official POV. The
Superpatch has the sphere_sweep object which is ideally suited for spirals.
Calculating the points for a straight spiral is easy; bent spirals are something
I'll leave to others.
