Isn't this what Makefiles are for? Create an inference rule from .xml to .html, add your list of files, and let 'er rip. The Windows shell even has enough scriptability to generate the list of files in a directory from the command line. I do this to make Makefiles for whole diretories of XML files that need to be transformed. You only have to regenerate the Makefile when you add or remove a file.
