It all hinges on mobi pockets command line API. Or, pehaps they have a stand alone command line tool if the reader software doesn't have an API.
They have a command line tool, mobigen. It is best to give it OEB (a .opf file) or ePub as input (ePub import is new and a little flaky). So a command line chain can get you from LIT to MOBI (clit.exe to remove DRM, lit2oeb, and finally mobigen). ConvertLIT can also explode to OEB, but lit2oeb is now supposed to be better (I have always used ConvertLIT and it usually works well). The other option is MobiPerl's lit2mobi, which again needs a DRM-free LIT as input.
