I would be very interested in cooperating with anyone else
that may be able to help build a set of command line sf2
extraction and rebuild tools. 
 Takashi Iwai included two utilities in awesfx 0.4.2, one which
 dumped the metadata of a SF2 to a text file, and another
 which compiled the (possibly modified) text file and original
 SF2 into a new SF2.  With it you could make minor edits
 to a soundfont from the command line.  As-is, it's not going
 to help build a soundfont from single wave files, but it
 might be a great starting point for building such a tool. 
Thanks for pointing this out - it really will be a good place to
start.
It has a lot of what we need, and is really only missing the ability
to work with individual sound files, like you say.
Thanks again
