Adding all these things to the linker is also no good idea. Having the linker
output the same information in a dozen different formats makes it bloated.
It's better to have one output file that contains all the information and
another tool that converts this information into whatever the user wants. 

This tool may or may not be written as a script, but since it's a structured
text file, using perl is always a good idea. If your users don't have perl,
you're free to supply the already converted file. This is what I'm doing with
the builtin linker configs and ca65 macro files.
