Well that's what you get for being an Engineer :-)  Seriously though, I 
knocked it up in 5 or 10 minutes, variable section sweep of an arc (radius 
controlled by an exponential of the distance along the sweep), and the sweep 
path was a conic section curve.  Then I added some thickness and rounded the 
edges.  It would have taken me forever to work out how to that using SDL, 
and I couldn't have adjusted the parameters in real time to get it looking 
right :-)
