[Koha] MARC importing tool?

Howdy!
I've developed a couple of programs that I have used to aid me in
populating the library database.
The first program takes a raw scan of a book's EAN (ie:9781575212784)
and converts it into the ISBN (ie:1575212781).
The second program takes a list of ISBN's and attempts to retrieve the
MARC record for each title from the LoC.
I have successfully used these two programs to obtain MARC records on
approximately 4000 titles so far. I think it took about 40 minutes to
poll the LoC and save all the responses to a file.
The only program I need to find/write/beg/borrow/steal is one that will
take all these MARC records and import them into KOHA. Is there anything
out there that does this already?
Regards,
John
PS: I can make the above mentioned two programs available if there's
enough interest.
