I've looked at doing something similar, but haven't had time to get to the bottom of it. In my case I'm using the cont-au.bst file. I think the magic happens in the format.names function, which in turn calls bibtex's internal format.name$ function. This stuff is documented in Patashnik's bibtex docs -- see http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/reference/faq/bibtex.pdf section 5 (and especially 5.4) which explains what all the {vv}s and {ll}s etc. do. On a quick reading, it looks to me as though changing the line s nameptr "{f}" format.name$ add.period$ 't := to s nameptr "{f{}}" format.name$ add.period$ 't := should remove the spacing, but I haven't tested it. Hope this helps, and good luck!
