The Badge Generator was written by Hugo Mills. As I understand it, it
relies on some low level postscript to do its magic. From memory, this
has been asked before and the response was along the lines of you
would probably be better starting from scratch unless you are already
a wizz with postscript.
If you don't want to get into the murky depths of postscript, then you
could do something similar in bitmap with imagemagic and some bash.
