Another app in this vein was Kaptain (for KDE):

That tool lets you describe a context-free grammar for the command line options, and transforms the options into gui elements. Does not require KDE anymore, compiles with Qt only. http://kaptain.sourceforge.net/

That looks useful, particularly the supplied find and grep "grammar scripts". I installed Kaptain from the trusty/universe default Ubuntu repos and got the latest version. Only issue so far is that it installs to /usr/bin/kaptain and so the scripts need to be modified slightly (they expect bin in /usr/local/bin/).
