The splines *are* there in the 0.8.0 cvs code.

Also, the view shown here is intended to be used with splines, i.e. 
stretching and bending the connection so it becomes much clearer where the spline
goes. 

In the current views, the problem is that if there's a line between cells,
you can't be sure if it's between those cells or some cells behind them.
This new view would address that.
