I'm playing with Alfio Puglisi's wiki2static script, which he no longer maintains - he's decided it's entirely the wrong approach (trying to clone MediaWiki in a script), and I'm seeing his point ;-)
It should be possible to write a static dump builder as part of MediaWiki itself, using the wikitext parser and so on.
Though probably not to keep active on Wikipedia ;-)

Tim checked in some experimental code on the dev branch a few days ago to this effect:
