Here's a cool little automation tool I just found: sikuli. It allows you to write scripts like the old dos commands, but for the UI, so click on this image, wait until such an image is available,...
It's not the fastest way to automate things, in as, it runs fairly slow (image matching, waiting for screens to appear and so), but it beats doing everything manually. I've begun using it to automate some tedious tasks. I'd also like to use it for building some test cases in the future.

That's quite cool, like macros but with images.

yep, so it works with any application.
