as you've been told on c.t.t (i think it was), if the answer were
simple, such a script would already have been written.

font installation (for use with dvips/pdftex/dvipdfm) is pretty
nightmarish, and the matter's rendered worse by the file naming issue
(you *really* don't want to use a font foundry's name for a pfb file,
and you've already been told the value of using the standard berry
scheme).
