If you use Hi-Tech C, then you may be aware their recent customer 
newsletter mentions the Hexmate command line utility:

- Calculate and store checksum values 
- Fill unused memory locations with known data sequences 
- Merge multiple Intel hex files with one output file 
- Convert INHX32 files to other INHX formats (eg. INHX8M) 
- Detect opcode sequences within a hexfile 
- Find/replace opcode sequences 

It's free (to existing customers at least) and they aim to include it with all their 
future compilers.
