Hi Frank, This is very cool, and I will endeavour to give you some feedback on it. Actually, I'm wondering if some collaboration might not be fruitful- I spent a long time tinkering with winGRASS etc for Portable GIS, and it would be cool if a portable version of OSGeo4W could be made...

The result of that is OSGeo4W. It is an installer that understands package dependency, supports upgrading individual components in place, and is network based (only downloading the packages that are needed). OSGeo4W is loosely intended to supercede efforts like MS4W, and FWTools. We are seeking windows software users willing to try out OSGeo4W, and provide feedback. http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w We are also looking for software developers and packagers interested in helping with packaging. Currently we have good support for GDAL, MapServer, uDig. We have a proof-of-concept WinGRASS package, but it needs love. We would appreciate packagers for additional packages, including QGIS, OSSIM, MapGuide, gvSig, and GeoNetwork.
