Thanks to a friend with an actual manual page,
I find that the curve-handling invocation is

	gc2pic +s

Evidently, splines are an option because some
output devices can't handle them.

I ended up not being able to use gc2pic, because of its
tendency to plot text positions exactly as in its input....
