here's a simple Gnu Makefile

INCLUDE := mysql.conf
SRC := $(wildcard *.mysql)
DEST := $(patsubst %.mysql,%.cf, ${SRC})
CHOWN := 700

all: ${DEST}

%.cf: ${INCLUDE} %.mysql
        cat $^ > $.tmp
        mv $.tmp $

if you run GNU make, then it will generate foo.cf for each foo.mysql
file, by prepending the contents of mysql.conf.

Note. I am assuming that the permissions are set on the directory where
you place the files (say /etc/postfix/maps/mysql/), so there is no need
to chown each file (otherwise, a touch + chown are needed above, before
creating the temp file).
