How to speed up BSPZIPing?

I used BSPZIP to pack some required files into my BSP. But it's really hard and painful to manually create a file list. How can I speed up this process?
AFAIK the Pakrat application doesn't work with Nuclear Dawn BSP files, I tried it myself.

If you're familar with any scripting languages, like python, php, perl, etc., it would be fairly easy to (re)generate a list of files from given directories.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a premade tool to do this. Pakrat, Packbsp, and others hardcode in the bspzip logic themselves and are thus engine-specific (and thus don't work on L4D2, Portal 2, or CS:GO either). I once came across a tool that just works as a wrapper to any game's bspzip.exe, but I don't recall the name and cannot seem to find it.
