Are these programs suitable to simple form-driven input?  How much 
explanation is needed for the interactions between them (if any) and 
the various options?

Assuming that you can get away with simple form-based setup like "select 
input file", "select output file", some checkboxes, text fields and so 
on...  Looking at e.g. kdialog might be one place to start.  Or, the 
FreeTUIT kit might be nearly ready for general consumption in that 
regard.
