Hi, 

Stupid but working method is to create a copy from your geotiff files, drop out
the geotiff tags and create world file instead.  Is goes like this:

gdal_translate -of GTiff -co profile=baseline -co tfw=yes input.tif output.tif

In your case you would only need the tfw creation part and copying the image
file itself is wasting time and disk space but I do not know about any utility
that would write only the world file for you.  It would be nice to know if such
exists, I might be useful sometimes.
