I have a sym2eps tool here: http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/dj_delorie/

There's a djboxsym there too, which is a symbol creation helper.

First, there's a bunch of existing symbol-maker helpers out there, so
make sure you're not doing something that's already been done.

Second, if it hasn't been done, don't let all those other helpers stop
you from making another one.  It seems to be a competition to see how
many different helpers we can come up with :-)
