Is there a good scripted solution that would let him automate the conversion of all of the existing Webscriptions stuff?

YES! I have a collection of shell scripts that will do the conversion entirely automatically (via Kovid's wonderful html2lrf tool). It
would require that he edit the scripts some (to fit his installation as compared to mine), and that he either do the conversion on a Unix-ish box or install the Cygwin tools on a windows box.
That said, I can re-convert
everything from Baen with a single command line (and any new month or bundle ditto)... and I'll be happy to share the scripts.
(edit...)
As for strangeness with Baen html goes, my experience has been that Kovid has been more than willing to fix issues in html2lrf. The --baen switch is there because a bunch of us asked for some pre-processing to clean up the incoming html before html2lrf went to work on it. I suspect that any further clean-up that can be automated with a sed or awk script would be trivial to get added. Once the desired change is identified, that is.
The only remaining problem that I've seen is occasional missing scene breaks. I've not been motivated to chase it down, but the possibility of getting the books pre-converted from Baen would motivate me...
