Looks like the only option. If it's a one time
operation (which I doubt), then it is much better to
actually compute it (in terms of Bezier, BSpline or
Spline for the intersection). Otherwise, I would
suggest to take a look at solid modelling package IRIT
located at (http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~irit/). This
one is a very much advanced geometric parametric
modelling treasure (in the spirit of Gmsh) that I use
from time to time that would let you compute the
intersection at no time once you learn how to handle
it. Then plug numbers into Gmsh. I have never tried
this sequence but I see no reason why this should not
work out.
