Nice suggestion. I have included this in EGCG 8.1 (due soon) in the
MapSelect program, which allows users to select enzymes and writes a new
enzyme local data file.

Here are the results for 8-cutters (note that this includes some cases
where ambiguous base codes are counted - R and Y for example - but does
not count the positions where any base (N or X) is allowed). Both minimum
and maximum base counts are allowed (-MINBASE=5 -MAXBASE=5 for example
to get the 5 cutters) :
