Agreed, and sounds like you're already considering ImageMagick for
this. I've used it similarly with more or less good results. I always
have to look up the right options, play with one file a bunch to get a
nice blend of size/quality, and also have learned to use whatever
option (either convert or mogrify) saves a *new* version, as I didn't
get at first that one of those edits the file in-place!

Yeah, that was mostly tongue in cheek... I'd be doing the exact same
thing (looking for a better way to automate/process, even though
technically it's simply changing the the contents of
\includegraphics{something} or <img src = "something" />. Thus, to the
last point, I'd generate .pdfs, leave the LaTeX version alone, convert
some other image format for html, and then sed/replace-regexp on the
html to change all image.pdf -> image.png.
