I would like to manage my collections more manually than either the Sony Library or Calibre enable me to. Is there a tool that lets one do so?

Specifically my issue is that I'd like to manage through scripting what book goes into what collection, having most books be part of more than one collections... basically using collections a bit more unorthodoxly than they were probably meant to be.

Doing this through a GUI is a bit of a pain, so I'd really like to be able to provide a formatted list or XML file to a console tool that does the "magic" for the collections.

Ps.: My apologies if I am less coherent than I ought to be. I feel a bit iffy with my terminology on this topic.
