Yeah in our case, it needs to be ICE-based. We've working on a toolset
for creating procedural buildings, and there are a couple of sections
that would need to extrude a profile along a path.
I think we can look at Fabricio Chamon's tool and get some inspiration...

Tim,
Can you use the basic Extrusion Along Curve modeling commands in
Surf.Mesh or Poly.Mesh? Or are you strictly limited to ICE?
Does it have to be mesh or surface? I think that while its possible,
in ICE, to do what you want with polygon topology, it may not be
possible with NURBS.
You can extrude strands along curves if that is useful.

Sorry if this is basic ICE, but is there a way to extrude geometry
along a curve? We're trying to avoid using strands at all, since we're
just doing some modeling operations and don't want to have to manage
extra pointclouds.... Plus curves gives us more artist-friendly control...
