Not all > of us are able to read sourcecode in perl and ruby and lua. Well, as propably many tools around, otfinstall is a tool which arose for my personal needs. As soon as it worked, I stopped putting time into it. If I can see any demand, I will pick it up again. But there is luatex/mkiv waiting behind the corner. Then all this will be obsolete anyway. So in my (and a some other people's elses) opinion, putting any non-trivial effort in pdftex/mkii based solutions is a waste of time. Better install luatex and write a font guide for luatex.
