--EDIT--

Found casascius' application already compiled.  he has it available for download.  from what I see, it only allows for individual minikey generation, but I will try to see if I can figure this thing out.

I'm wondering if mini keys are generated with this:
 - http://github.com/casascius/Bitcoin-Address-Utility

Yes, the wiki page says that supports them too.  It may be easier to use, but you may have to compile it yourself.

Is there currently a method by which a large number of mini keys can be automatically generated?  If not, would it be possible to develop an application which accomplishes this?

How about the Python code at the bottom of https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mini_private_key_format ?  Be aware of the caveat about how it is not using a safe random function.

that is interesting.. i wonder how "unsafe" it would be to generate the keys using python's random funciton.. i'm trying to wrap my head around something more "random" than "random".  Maybe a better coder than I could explain..
