Frank, thanks (again) for your help. I'm in business. I stepped into the code and found that WMS support was being built in (after I installed curl and changed the nmake.opt file). For some reason, though, WMS doesn't show up on gdalinfo --formats. The reason my open was failing was because I had three bytes of white space before my <GDAL_WMS> tag that were invisible in my text editor.
