I usually use Matlab for this.  Octave may also be used.  Both of these 
are very suitable for that kind of work.

In Octave:
-----------------------------------------
% Make a 100000 sample vector of zeros,
% set sample 50000 to one (the impulse),
% write to file

t = zeros(1,100000);   
t(50000) = 1;
ausave('impulse.wav',t,44100,'long');
-----------------------------------------
