Script to make multiple layers in one task

From time to time I find the need to make many empty layers named A-Z. I use this when preparing a font drawn in Illustrator for moving to FontLab.

I have not found any ready made script to do this and would like a little help to make one. Or, if somebody would like to make this script it would be even more helpful.

The situation is this:
A full set of glyphs is ready in Illustrator and all are on Layer 1.
Artboard is set according to: http://font.is/?p=48
Glyphs are aligned to left on top of each other.
Need to make empty layers, A-Z and even more. Tedious by hand.
Then each glyph is moved from the sublayers to their own new layers. I could continue doing this part by hand.

I could of course make these layers in one file and copy them each time to each project but a script would be soooo much cooler.

Any help with this? Hints?

Thanks in advance.
