You can still use that good old meshtools (if you want a free script) that do exactly that + bridge polygons (unfortunatly IIRC it doent bridge edges.) with one key called Connect.
v=connect c=champfer b=bridge mode (don't know how to "bridge selection" :P) ctrl+w=select ring ctrl+e=select edge ctrl+u=psd path unwrapper shift+r=relax in uvw editor most are copied over from someone else though ;). they are really good for my workflow.
Alt+Q = select edge loops Alt+W = select ring loops Ctrl+T = Target weld Ctrl+B = Bridge (selecting 1 edge then ctrl+b to bridge to other edge) Ctrl+C = Chamfer Alt+C = Cut tool Ctrl+Alt+C = Connect Ctrl+W = Weld selected ` = Stitch selected in unwrap The rest is pretty much standard and some maxscript shortcuts.
