All my googling only turned up others making the same request but no
answers so I don't think such a utility exist.  The problem I ran into
the last time was, the aperture list has no standard format so the
aperture list will sometimes have to be entered by hand.  I am
considering writing a pyGTK program to do it.

Don't do this on my account but the documentation for RS274X is
available here:
  http://gerbv.sourceforge.net/docs/rs274xrevd_e.pdf

a shorter description:

If you chose to do this I can send you sample RS274D files.
