Kicad has recently added support for plotting multi-page PDFs (
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg08086.html) to their
testing branch (which I believe you used for your command line patches?).
It seems to work quite well in the limited testing that I have done. Just
wanted to let you guys know in case it makes your lives easier :)
