ESMF file regridder ?

Before trying to do this myself, has anyone written a file converter program along the lines of ncl_convert2nc
BUT
for esmf regridding.

I was thinking of something along the lines of the CDO operator for SCRIP regridding:

cdo remap, targetgrid.nc, remapweights.nc infile outfile

where the remapweights.nc is computed using NCL or by the ESMF_RegridWeightGen utility itself ( which is in the NCL distribution)
the remapping is from the coordinates of infile to the coordinates of outfile.
The weights are computed separately from the regridding to save time.
targetgrid.nc is a grid descriptor for the outfile coordinates.

This is actually pretty straightforward, but involves a lot of messy book keeping ( ncl_convert2nc is 1700 lines ) that I would
rather have been done by someone else.
