I assume you are talking about the particle_system patch, and not the 
ParticlePOV patch...

Actually, I want to use splines for this...far more powerful, easy to 
use, easy to code, and consistent with some other things I plan to use 
splines for.

I don't understand...do you want a similar feature, only adjusting the 
speed of the emitted particles based on time? Yes, this could also be 
done...

I don't understand this. Do you want a list of values that are chosen 
from at random, for each particle? You do know you can use multiple 
emitters, right?

Also, all of these effects should be quite possible by running the 
particle system for short amounts of time and making adjustments at each 
stopping point...this will take longer though, since it does some 
parsing, and I am not sure if it will work properly, I haven't tested it 
yet.
