Any simple way to map ballscrews?

Mach3 (and I'm pretty sure EMC) allows you to enter a leadscrew
compensation table to correct for errors in the leadscrew pitch. Does
anyone have any sugestions on how to measure the error other than
using a dial indicator in the spindle, a block on the table and inch
worming down the length of the table. I'm looking at using rolled
ballscrews that can vary as much as .007 a foot.
