This question is mostly for Fredrik but anyone else that wants to chime in
is welcome.

Have a look at this rendering:

For some reason these flexible axles didn't create right. They have a kink
in the middle instead of a smooth transition. I generated them with both
programs just to be sure.  I'd solve this one myself but I'm bezier curve
dumb and still don't know how Fredrik dynamically creates the control
points. Here's the DAT code (with LDraw mode creation text) for one of them:
