Dave,

Sorry for missing you in IRC the other day.  I would be happy to provide
some help for packaging the above for OSGeo4W.  You should read over:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/PackagingInstructions

I can provide an account for you on upload.osgeo.org if you give me your
osgeo userid.

I would suggest starting with OWSLib which should be pretty easy.

Best regards,
