Yes, that's more or less what I thought.. Your cutlines are
spotcolours. Not more, not less. Spotcolours have been
requested before, and probably more than once. Maybe you
want to make some noise in one of those requests to explain
how spotcolours are also used as cutlines?

Do you think this request can be closed as a duplicate of a
spotcolour request? Or do you see something unique in
cutlines compared to spotcolours?

The script would be run automatically when you save
as "Postscript with CutCountour" (or whatever title you
choose for your extension). If you only use magic-pink for
the cutlines things would simply "work" without effort.
Well.. you would have to save to Ps and send the file to
the printer manually (but that sill sounds much easier than
your wmware+corel story). It could be a plausible work-
around until spotcolours are implemented. I wouldn't know
when/if that is scheduled to happen.
