This has now been created. It's not (even trivially) password protect. As a test it currently only contains the Sun Java 'Online' installer, which when executed gets the JRE components from Sun's servers. This can be easily changed by uploading a different executable and symlinking as appropriate. If I have time today I will mod the winstaller and upload but I'm pretty seriously busy with Real Life at the moment.
