@rveri: would an awk- version be sufficient?
Code:
awk     '       {Arr[NR]=$0; L=length($0); if (L>MAXL) MAXL=L}
         END    {HF=sprintf("%*s",MAXL+4," "); gsub(" ","#",HF)
                 print HF
                 for (i=1; i<=NR; i++) printf "# %-*s #\n", MAXL, Arr[i]
                 print HF}
        ' file
