Hi, Well - having in mind this is "flac-dev", I thought you are a developer and writing an application for that purpose is quite trivial. Anyway, CUE sheets are so simple, they can even be written by hand - the minimal CUE sheet is very simple. About the actual embedding - I haven't worked with metaflac or editing applications so I can't give you any specific advice for that. Another option is to get a developer to create a simple application for that purpose - it won't be difficult by any means.
