I started to consider the hammer and punch aswell! Filing every chainring tab would take forever and be really messy I fear.
It all depends. If you've got a decent rough cut file it will take no time at all, you're only filing aluminium which is really soft.
I think nothing of cutting/filing stuff to size, but it depends how confident you are of not cocking it up. Don't rush in until you know its all gonna work out.
