Mouse Macros

So I'm playing RoM and the gathering system is extremely dull and tedious. I would like to craft in spite of this, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good macro program that would help me automate the gathering.

Basically I don't mind running around, finding the resources, but most of them can be gathered 5 times which takes around 10 seconds. I'm looking to turn one of the extra keys on my MS (?) mouse into a hotkey to kickoff a macro to gather all possible resources (or even just click exactly where I did every .5 seconds for the next 10 seconds.
 
Probably not allowed, but it's enough of a gray area that I'm ok with the risk. Is clicking once instead of 5x really going to make me an uber awesome gatherer?
 
Thanks for the link Rally. Autohotkey seems to work somewhat but it's not getting the job done... the loop quits way too early.
 
Macro Express has a 30 day free trial. Very handy and easy to use since the script commands are already coded, your just inserting them into a sequence.
 
If you are mechanically inclined, build a LEGO bot. Saw a pretty cool Everquest Fishing bot waaaaay back. That kind of thing would be totally undetectable also.
 
Auto-It and Aldo's Macro Recorder are the two most common MMO related macro programs that I've encountered. The people I know who do the most AFK-farming/leveling mostly use Auto-It (http://read-only.autoitscript.com/index.shtml) and you can probably even find a script for what you're looking to do if the MMO is popular enough.

I'm not aware of any MMO's that sanction the use of Auto-It, but it's impossible to detect server-side if you make use of the random events on your timings. Some MMO's could look for it client-side of course and detect you that way.
 
The macro I was using was clearly not flexible enough since when you start gathering there is anywhere between 1-6 mats to gather from that node having to not move the mouse at all was also tedious. I'll look into LUA as I get a chance.

Goals of the interface I want to create
1. macro / interface change to click once and gather all mats from a single node.
2. Larger mini-map so I can see nodes which are farther away.
3. arrow (like the NPC follow option) pointing to the nearest node of a given type (i.e. bitterleaf).

I did notice that curse has a RoM section so when I'm not at work I'll check to see if anyone has done this for me.
