The standard lsynth rope (string) is a bit of a hack so I wouldn't necessarily try to duplicate it for your extrusion method. A better looking rope can be made by starting with 3 co-planar touching circles, and extruding with a twist. Go here and check out the "cordage torsade" picture in section 12a.

Say, would it be possible to re-use any of the lsynth meta commands to make it easier for certain lazy programmers to duplicate the extrusion functionality in a standalone tool, by enhancing the existing lsynth code?
