swami also uses a library (packaged handily seperately) called
libinstpatch that seems to be just what we need: a library for
manipulating SF2 files. I'm about to have a closer look, but it seems
like this will make a nice back-end and will make this project
practically an accessible implementation of swami.

Sounds like all we'd need for comping together instruments though. Along these lines, and this would help Julien, is

aware of any shell tools to deal with sf2 soundfonts ?
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.
