This script edits the barbarian greater rage and mighty rage feats so that the Strength and Constitution bonus ignores the +12 cap and stacks on top of it.
The bonus that Greater Rage provides is based on the number of barbarian levels.
1-14 Barbarian levels give +4 STR, +4 Con and +4 Will Save.
15-10 Barbarian levels give +6 STR, +6 Con and +6 Will Save.
20 to 24 Barbarian levels give +7 STR, +7 Con and +7 Will Save.
25-29 Barbarian levels give +8 STR, +8 Con and +8 Will Save.
30-34 Barbarian levels give +9 STR, +9 Con and +9 Will Save.
35-39 Barbarian levels give +10 STR, +10 Con and +10 Will Save.
40 Barbarian levels give +12 STR, +12 Con and +12 Will Save.
The Greater Rage bonus does not count toward the +12 magical ability cap. Thus allowing an additional max of +12 stacking. The strength bonus will result in an increase in attack and the constitution bonus results in an increase in Hit Points.
Mighty Rage provides +12 to Strength and Constitution and +3 to saves.
If a player uses Mighty Rage and Greater Rage together, the Mighty Rage will not stack on top of the Greater Rage, but the Greater Rage bonus will stack on top of the Mighty Rage. Therefore to obtain the greatest benefit the player should first use Mighty Rage and then Greater Rage. When using Greater Rage immediately after using Mighty Rage you will not see any changes in your Strength and Constitution ability scores, but you will notice the increase in AB and HP.
There are two images available for comparison. The first image is a barbarian without any gear using both rage feats. The second image is a barbarian equipped with gear that adds +12 to Strength and Constitution. As you can see in the second image both rage feats ignore the +12 cap that is provided by the gear.
Additional credit is given to Mizzajl who previously worked the script to disallow the increase in AB for barbarians with weapon finesse equipped with a finessible weapon. They do still receive the HP bonus though.
You can download Greater Rage or Mighty Rage scripts seperately. If you would like them both I have combined them into one erf, bogos_rage.
These changes may be unbalanced in some mods, but in the mod I use it in it works very well. I hope that others find this useful.

Let me know what you think. I know this isn't perfect for every mod, but it is very easy to modify the bonus increase if you want to tailor for your mod.
