Hi Kevin,
I can't answer your question directly, but I am curious why you did not 
install using OSGEO4w installer, as it is extremely flexible and gives 
you easy access to all the OSGEO software, including the dependencies 
they may have.
If there is no real reason, then rather download/reinstall all the 
required software onto 1 system using OSGEO4w, and then install on the 
other PCs pointing OSGEO4w to this first system.

Have you looked at Monteverdi?
The great thing about it is that as you build up your command using the 
GUI, it displays the command-line syntax that you could use should you 
want to script a chain of processes.
IMHO, all GIS students must learn to at least "script" if not 
"programme", so this would also facilitate as an easy intro to command 
line usage.
(I use inverted commas because in the simplest case, stringing together 
a bunch of command line commands in a BAT file is a script)

HTH,
Zoltan
