Im in the process of learning this my self. Heres what I can tell you....

You can weld in the UVW unwrap editor. Right-click then select target weld or weld selected.(you have to position stuff first though)
The problem is I have no Idea how to figure out which way is up on the polygons. I had it nice and neat like your last pic there.When I textured the polygons,it came in upside down.

So is there way to tell which way is up for a face in the editor?

This wouldn't be a problem with a detailed object because you could plainly see which way is up...

I'm currently writing a tutorial on texture mapping.Check it out on 3dtotal when it comes out!
