WPKG needs some kind of wrapper in one or the other way anyway as you need to 
launch cscript.exe with wpkg.js and some other arguments. So something has to 
call it. Just executing wpkg.js is not possible anyway as you need to launch it 
with parameters.

So I usually just keep a simple cmd script in wpkg folder to launch it. 
Three-liner, or add some more lines to define more global variables. It doesn't 
get any simpler than that.

This is easy to do as well. Also you could specify variables in profiles or host 
definitions.
