I've not needed to do something like this very often.  The few times 
that I've needed to do it have usually involved (shell) scripts, likely 
calling sed and / or awk, possibly with their associated files.  (Much 
like it looks like was done for mk_cmds.)

I would also consider using Vim's bufdo command across multiple buffers 
(""open files).  Depending on the complexity, I'd likely define a macro 
(if not an all out Vimscript), and execute said macro / Vimscript via 
:buffdo.

I had assumed that emacs had similar functionality.
