I've also made a similar utility for GNU Emacs (available for free for
most platforms). There is a description of the algorithm and a tutorial
at
http://www.math.uio.no/~fredrigl/technic/ldraw-mode/bezier-curve/
(You'll need a PNG-enabled browser to see the Emacs screenshots. Sorry
about that.)
If all goes well, I hope to present a model which has lots of curved
hoses made with LDraw-mode by the end of the year. A small teaser is
