The mortar is the problem for me.  When the bricks follow a sharp curve in
the spline, the nasty 'joins' in the mortar become obvious.  So, what I'm
attempting to do is sample the spline's heading at each point where a brick
would go, and then use CSG to chop up a cylinder to make nice curvy joins.
As I'm useful Chris Colefax's Spline Include File (again!) this should be
pretty painless to achieve.  (He says foolishly...)
