When I get time, sure.  My tool can backup and restore eeproms anyway
(based on my last attempt to do eeprom editing, which didn't go so well :)

Hmmm... I'll try it on my ft2232h board, it has a blank external
eeprom anyway.

But the tool I ended up writing is a tweaker - it always reads the
eeprom *anyway*, lets you tweak the values, then puts it back in:

  $ ./eeprom -cbus2 io
  1 device connected
  Dev  0: Filename "103", Manf "FTDI", Desc "FT232R USB UART", Ser# "A600dOgq"
  writing out new EEProm...

I've not yet had the need to write out a whole new eeprom from
scratch, so why is that the default use model?  I would think we'd
want to encourage people to do a read/modify/write cycle instead, for
chips with built-in eeproms like the 232R.
