That particular one is quite easy, unless I am missing something:

STD	Standard Shipping	shipping	0	0	e Nothing to ship!
STD	Standard Shipping	shipping	0	99999	f @@TOTAL@@

That is all it takes if you want to put a specific shipping cost in each
products field. Then the regular [shipping] tag does everything else.
