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.
