This sounds like the sort of thing that could easily be automated using a five-line Bash (Ruby, Python, etc) script.

I do something very similar to this, using Wintersmith and shell scripts. It essentially boils down to using two repositories for my site: the first being the raw/ungenerated files including the shell scripts, the second being the generated files that are served by GitHub pages.

s3_website[0] is a very neat solution to this. It integrates automatically with Jekyll. A simple 'jekyll build && s3_website push' uploads all your changes to S3. I'm using it to power all my static sites. It'll even automatically invalidate your Cloudfront distributions, if you like.
