Running Mathematica scripts automatically from the command-line is major pain. That and just writing the benchmark code. A contribution would be most welcomed.

Mathematica has always had a command line.

    MathKernel -script "foo.m" -noprompt

As to Mathematica being a pain to write code for: I've found it to be a pretty nice language, certainly a far cry better designed than MATLAB.
