I think the texexec program with ConTeXt would handle this
pretty well off the shelf. Have you look at it?

this seems like very hard work....

I'd add page numbers in the master TeX document, import the PDF
files as graphics, cropped to remove any native page numbers. If you
let tex import the pages, it can do page numbering, headers, footers etc
as normal. The only thing it cant do is an automatic table of
contents.
