WPKG-GP can also launch the cmd script which launches wpgk.js rather than 
script.exe/wpkg.js directly.

Variables are not parameters.
use
<variables>
   <variable name='SOFTWARE' value='\\path-to-server' />
</variables>


I think in one of the first mails you sent to the list you quoted an answer of 
Nicolas Briche including some examples.

It does:

...
<xsd:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
	<xsd:element name="variables" type="variables">
		<xsd:annotation>
			<xsd:documentation>WPKG global variables (available to all 
packages).</xsd:documentation>
		</xsd:annotation></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>

...

Clearly indicates how to specify the variables element in config.xsd.
