I have done this with QGIS, if you have a grid with categorised values, QGIS can generate a polygon shapefile with the cell boundaries merged by cell value. QGIS uses gdal_polygonize.py under the hood to do this (via a simple GUI interface), so if you work out the command line parameters you need, you could run it from the command line.

Unfortunately, Surfer creates a shapefile with shapes on top of each other instead of inside each other, and Golden Software support couldn't help with this issue. I have a grid-file in Surfer Bin Grid format that can be converted to other raster formats, a border shapefile created using ST_Convexhull, and a text file indicating the values of the polygons. Can anyone recommend a way to use GDAL/OGR to make a polygon shapefile from these resources, or suggest an alternative approach?
