I'm using Cool Edit, and I'm definitely not doing anything automated, but by
hand.

One thing I've found useful is to apply a ridiculous graphic eq - boosting
by 15-20 dB everything from about 1k on up. This causes clicks to show up
dramatically. Don't save this file, though! Zoom in on every click, mark
them with  file markers, and then undo the EQ. Then, use the CEP  Click/Pop
Eliminator on each highlighted area.
