One can use pqinsert(1) to insert files into the product-queue.  Several sites 
do this.  It is usually run by a script that is, in turn, started by an EXEC 
entry in the LDM configuration-file (etc/ldmd.conf).

There's a manual-page on pqinsert(1).  If your LDM installation is correctly 
configured, then you should be able to get that information by the command "man 
pqinsert".

As far as inserting files that are generated on a Windows system, I'm afraid I 
don't know what the caveats are, if any.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
