Hi John,
You could probably do this in a macro without too much problem.
It depends on what kind of control you want/need. Do you need the border width to be in pixels or percentages etc.
With a couple of expressions and macro building, you should be done pretty quickly.
I am not a very good at creating expressions, but you could probably create a crop set to 'original width' and 'original height' so that it will always automatically adapt to the incoming image, create two custom integer sliders and use those in the expressions as well to drive the cropping. Merge that on top of a Bg tool in the color of your desired border. Create expressions in the width and height of the bg tool and link them to the crop values, and then create an integer slider (or 2) for the border thickness, this way you can have almost everything drive itself, while still maintaining control.
I hope this can get you started.
