I am treating the radii simply as a 4th vector component, just as with 
all the other spline types.  This seems consistent with how POV-Ray 
determines the radii of B-spline and cubic sphere_sweeps.

SphereSweep 1.2 is in testing phase right now.  I had to create a test 

segments made them trickier to implement than the other spline types.  I 
am still working on the test cases for variable radius sweeps.

As it turns out, I did not need your code, so there is no concern about 
licensing.
