Great, I did the same thing but in perl...
I see some differences in our versions, my version:

. converts xx.mm -> xx so I can continue to edit the "mm"-file
. converts multiple files on command line
. rounds to the nearest integer

Mine is at http://turkos/git/openhw/share/pcb/pcbmm.pl
(git://turkos.aspodata.se/openhw.git)

Best would be if pcb could parse theese "mm"'s on input.
