True splines might be quite a bit of work, but if I improve the polygon-finding
to handle (N>4) sides then I could approximate curves using straight segments,
which would be handled automagically by the block macros. (Any future roads or
street furniture could use the true splines to hide the approximation).

Your Gancaloon city was one of the things that put me on this path, although as
yet it only works on a plane. Projecting the buildings up to a surface should be
straighforward, however. :-)

Don't drool too much, I have no civil amenities yet ;-)
