AMA> UV mapping will work on polygonal objects as well.

Will it?  Could be.  Never seen a program with that capacity (all I
saw were tricks).  However, the goal is to use splines.

The idea is that using splines, you can easily select points and modify
their strength so that the mapping will get more or less stretched in
certain areas (ie. without modifying the length of the curve OR
adding/deleting points).  Of course, if I understand correctly, this is
the power behind Nurb curves (not b-splines, cardinals or beziers).

If you use other spline types, you will need to erase or add points
to achieve the desired effect.

Finally, usign polygons, you would find this even more difficult (you end
up having too many points which you would need to modify individually).
