No need to justify yourself.

We don't suppose that you do something with (whatever shaped) buttons
that is either immoral, illegal or fattening :-D

Since every object/control can be scripted to act like a "button",
i would suggest to use graphics/polygons for a chep-o solution
or images for a better looking solution.

Try not to think in terms of "buttons", if you need something that
is not "rectangular" (with or without round edges...) ;-)
