Dear Albert,
A nice proposal, using pure tones, but I don't think that will work. It
isn't that it is CPU intensive, more that you just need to ask the right
question...
While not exactly the solution you propose, we have worked on a method where
the listener can select from a shortlist of HRTFs

listeners the best possible outcome apart from getting themselves
measured or them going through a whole list of HRTF?s ?
These folks may have the right idea:

To get yorur feet wet, try
ambiexplorer app on a Phone or tablet with some downloaded ambisonic files.
As I understand it you can choose from The included hrtfs with variation
based on head width between The ears.
According to ericsson media lab staff this is one of The most important
parameters.
