The only problem is that to write such a script one needs to know in
advance:

- the exact sequence of URLs to call (isn't this documented anywhere
but in the source code itself?)
- a list of the names and admissible values of all the form variables
to pass to curl when it calls each one of those URLs. (**)

You need to know the fields in the form to create the node type you want to create. You put the data in $form_state['values'], just as is passed into, hook_form_alter(). You can get that by writing a hook_form_alter() function that calls var_export($form_state['values'], 1);

Then,
1: call drupal_get+form() to get the from-defining array
2: populate your $form_state['values'} array with your new node data
3: call drupal_execute($form_id, $form, $form_state);

Lather, rinse, repeat until you're done. No URLs involved. Stick it in a module and call it from your script or a menu as you prefer.

Read the docs and you'll see how it's done.
