Panel Program

I am having some success writing myself a "panel" program - basically my
needs are to select a bunch of G-Code files of parts I've made and have it
lay them out on a panel for me - essentially giving me one big g-code file
that I can just start and come back later for all my parts... most of my
stuff is cut out of the same piece of stock, and I find myself moving the
router head, zeroing, loading another G-Code file, and running...
It's not doing any nesting or rotating for best fit yet (yet) but I was
looking for some ideas of stuff that might be appropriate to put in here...
I plan on offering it out for free to anyone that wants it - so that's why
I'm asking
Oh and if there's already something out there that does this let me know! :)
