Hugin now has a tool called pto_gen for preparing the input files for

This does take filenames as input. If you have problems with the command
line length, you can use pto_merge to do it in steps:

Thanks! Pto_gen was new to me. I assume it will be in the regular Hugin
package?

It should be in any recent snapshot since December and will be in the 2012.0.0 release.

If nothing else maybe Hugin could include a batch script to call pto_gen
and cpfind, making it more straight-forward.

A Windows batch script for this would be welcome and can be distributed with Hugin.

It still seems pto_gen needs an FOV number for non-EXIF files. I'm not
knowledgeable on the complex optic math but just pragmatically notice that
Autopano was fine without. :-) AFAIK that's something that can be deduced
at a later stage with control points in place?

Yes it can, but a good initial estimate will get you a better spread of control points. With a 'normal' lens you can usually do ok giving a FoV of 50, with any other lens it would be better to try and estimate the actual angle.
