Locator-set Bezier curves mapped to 3D surface

Went back to John Fultz's example mapping a single Bezier curve set via
locators and extended it to map multiple curves at once. Works pretty
fast. I'm still struggling to understand why all these Dynamic wrappers
are necessary, but at least now I've got something to experiment with.
I wish the ImageSize option wasn't so quirky. I couldn't get it to work
until I gave it a list of two coordinates; one number for the size gave
me two differently sized sets of points.
And it still seems to take a lot of work to get PlotStyles to set the
colors for a list of graphs.
