Just to chime in here.

I had done an app which does not use script, but which can generate X number of records.  The technique involves using a table preloaded with 500 records just numbered from Record ID 1 to 500.  Then using a parameter type record to save parameters it uses API_RunImport to import qualifying records from that table to the to the target table to create up to 500 records.

So its still requires a "consultant" to set this up, but there is no script required.
