Hi Carsten,

MDL's Cheshire scripting language is a possiblity.  It ships with various SDfile
scanning utilities, and a PEOE (sigma only) partial charge calculator based on
Gasteiger's work is one of the example scripts.  Implicit hydrogens are
trivially obtainable except for transition metals where the valence evaluation
becomes problematic.
