best strategy to convert several HTML files

My previous question is closely related to the (probably deeper) question
of how to best convert several HTML files that link to one another - which
arises very often when dealing with CHM (Compiled HTML) and HTMLZ formats.

The strategy I use to go from a set of multiply-interlinked-HTML files
right now is to use Calibre to convert to HTMLZ, fix some link by hand or
script, and then use Pandoc to convert to LaTeX - where one is more free to
generate TOC's, Indexes, etc ...

    Mult-InterLinked-HTML -------> HTMLZ ------> LaTeX

This is about to become a mute point because the ePub reader will have to
address the issue in some form...so converting to ePub is probably going to
be a better path.... but ....I can only imagine how hard it will be to hunt
one wrongly encoded character in an ePub package. It would be nice if
Pandoc could do just like Calibre, once you see a wrongly encoded
character, continue, output to std.error.... and then inform the file (in
the package) it occurred, line and position.

It would also be really nice if the ePub reader could deal with CHM and
HTMLZ, since the variation in between the formats is very small.

Has anyone done any of this types of conversions before? What is your best
strategy to translate a set of linked HTML files?
