Hi Mark,
You are absolutely right about the lack of documentation on this, it was a
big pain in a project I worked on last year. I should probably put a blog
post together somewhere...
I don't have a lot of time at the moment, but I took a couple of minutes to
strip down some of my code to just the basic parts for a Windows service. I
haven't actually tried using this stand alone, but it should give you a
better idea of what's entailed to get it working and hopefully answer some
questions. My biggest issue with getting this working is it was very hard
to get any kind of real debugging output in the case where the service just
wouldn't start for some reason.

Hopefully this can help point you in the right direction, and if you have
more specific questions after playing with this I'll try to answer them.
Take care,
-Dan
