Maybe, turn your object into an "object pattern" (or proximity patter), 
turn that into a function. Turn your normal modifier into a function. Do 
some math (that I don't know) to make the whole thing usable by the 
Isosurface.
Then make a general macro for it, using "min- and max_extent" on the 
original object to create the contained-by box.
#macro (IsoObj, Normal) ...
