I've looked at doing something similar, but haven't had time to get to
the bottom of it. In my case I'm using the cont-au.bst file. I think
the magic happens in the format.names function, which in turn calls
bibtex's internal format.name$ function. This stuff is documented in
Patashnik's bibtex docs -- see
http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/reference/faq/bibtex.pdf
section 5 (and especially 5.4) which explains what all the {vv}s and
{ll}s etc. do.
On a quick reading, it looks to me as though changing the line
s nameptr "{f}" format.name$ add.period$ 't :=
to
s nameptr "{f{}}" format.name$ add.period$ 't :=
should remove the spacing, but I haven't tested it.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Pont
