Why not just put an alias in your shell settings<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... eg in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.bashrc (in your home directory) for bash users.

So,

[.bashrc]
alias pdflink='gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=./finished.pdf'

will let you do

pdflink file1.pdf file2.pdf<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... to create a file called finished.pdf in the current directory. This doesn't seem difficult.

Disclaimer:: I haven't tried this yet!!
