I have a drill press. BYO bit (for 1/2" chuck, or morse taper) and we're in business.
We could get 'er done in an hour if you located the holes beforehand.

Jason, I both doubt it could be done that fast, and recommend against doing it that way.
Mike, send me an e-mail, and i'll try to write up instructions on how to do this if you want to go ahead with DIY. It is feasible, but not my idea of a fun project.

You might PM unisk8r if he doesn't jump on this thread. Not sure he offers it as a service, but pretty sure he's done some of it, so may have some advice.

You can safely drill out most of the center section, beneath where the tire bead sits, as well as in valley between the spoke holes. I prefer to leave the outer surfaces undrilled, although some have ventured there before and lived to tell.
Once drilled and laced, you can use any tough thin tape to cover the holes. I like white athletic tape, and also the Rox sticky tapes.
It is very realistic to get the rim under a kg (<1000g).

Here's an example of a "non-aggressive" rim drilling, that's been bead-blasted and ready for paint. It ain't perfect, but no one sees it anyway once the tire is mounted, and you definitely feel the lighter weight.
