Screw tool modeling issue :
When using a screw axis (reference edge for screw), the operation always give the same result (as if the orientation of the reference edge was not take into account).
Here is what you should get : http://www.etude-blender.fr/images/screw45d.gif
Here is what you actually get, regardless the inclination of the reference edge : http://www.etude-blender.fr/images/screw2.gif

this page describes the screw tool in detail

from that page:
If the two “free” ends are aligned vertically, the result is as seen above. If they are not, the vertical component of the translation vector remains equal to the vertical component of the vector joining the two “free” vertices, while the horizontal component generates an enlargement (or reduction) of the screw as shown in (Enlarging screw (right) obtained with the profile on the left). In this example the open line serves as the profile as well as defining the translation.
this patch fixes the behaviour of "screw" when the “free” ends are NOT alligned vertically (like Benoit also pointed out)
