Hello,
I am known as Hashar on irc and fr.wikipedia.
I am currently developping a php script that aims to help me updating interwiki (also known as interlangage links). I am posting there so the community know about what's I am doing and mainly to prevent any crash of the server that might be cause by my script.
What you describe is one of the robots implemented in the pywikipediabot, available via sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot
That software does handle redirects and a lot of other wikipedia-intricacies. If you have any other wishes, we can have a look at them. You're welcome to join the team and bring in your experience.

Rob
