The script is all Maurice's work. As for things like soldermask color, these aren't represented by IDF since it is an ECAD/MCAD interchange tool and mechanical software doesn't care about solder mask color. You will also notice that tracks and silk screen are not included either. I have also eliminated vias from the IDF export since they make the mechanical models much larger but are generally not of any interest to the mechanical designer.
