Bridge faces or holes(edge borders).
Just watch the video. :)
The "Corner", "Smooth" and "Bezier" button change the type of spline knots.
The "Points:" spinner add knots to spline.
The "< Prev." and "Next >" button select the previous/next spline knots.
"Taper Amount" and "Taper Curve" set the amount and the curve value of faces bрidge.
The "Bridge segm" spinner sets the segments of the bridge.
The "Interactive" button turn On/Off interactive mode(watch the video).
New in ver. 1.1:

No problem to add Edit Poly
No problem to add Edit Poly modifier support. The problems comes from the way that edit_poly modifier "extrude along spline" works. The script use the extrude along spline to create the poly bridge. Watch the video.
To work properly the "Align to face normal" checkbox must be turned off, but then the extrusion is ....squashed. To get the proper extrusion I have to turn on the "Align to face normal", but then the extrudet faces not follow the spline.
