Nice idea. I think that a simple python script should be able to do this, using the gdal/ogr module. Note that the bounding boxes will only be useful if: 1) the data are all in the same coordinate system 2) the data all contain enough SRS information to convert to a common coordinate system I'd ask on the GDAL list.
