Hmm.
Actually, as an install cmd you could do something like java.bat:

\\server\wpkg\wget.exe -O C:\files http://java.sun.com/java.exe
C:\files\java.exe -silent
del C:\downloads\java.exe

However, it would be prettier and easier for the end user if WPKG itself 
detected it.

How do you propose it should look like?

<install cmd='http://java.sun.com/java.exe -silent' />

or maybe:

<install cmd='java.exe -silent'>
	<download 'http://java.sun.com/java.exe' />
</install>

Where should it download files?

Well it's the design right now, but I also think it should be changed.
Check this bug: http://bugs.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8
and vote for it :)
