Quick description:
This script deforms an object (the pattern) along other paths (skeletons)...
The first selected object is the pattern
the last selected ones are the skeletons.
Imagine a straight horizontal line L in the middle of the bounding box of the pattern.
Consider the normal bundle of L: the collection of all the vertical lines meeting L.
Consider this as the initial state of the plane; in particular, think of the pattern
as painted on these lines.
Now move and bend L to make it fit a skeleton, and see what happens to the normals:
they move and rotate, deforming the pattern.

This function recieves a component of a 'cubicsuperpath' and returns two things:
The path subdivided in many straight segments, and an array containing the length of each segment.
We could work with bezier path as well, but bezier arc lengths are (re)computed for each point
in the deformed object. For complex paths, this might take a while.
