Indeed it can. See Bill Brigg's articles which discuss almost exactly this
procedure at
http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0101/17.briggs.shtml
and
http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0101/25.briggs.shtml
and
http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0102/16.briggs.shtml
which discusses how to do it Reel Quick Like.
It'd just be a question for you of working out how to do upper -> lower and
replace spaces with _. A simple ASCII +/- 32 and a replace should serve.
