A little googling turned up this:
traymon.pl - Easily add a System Tray icon to an existing program
Category: Win32 Stuff
"Monitors another process, showing an icon in the system tray while the
other process is running. This process can be an already active process
(specified by PID), or can be a command to be launched by this program.
Programs launched by traymon.pl do not have a console window, so it can be
used to monitor them as background processes."

No idea if this will work. You'll need to load a perl interpreter on the
system, so it's not that lightweight.
Here are some more, don't know if you could adapt it to your needs. Most are
pretty old but claim to run on NT/2k/XP:
Trayconizer 1.1.1 - WhitSoft Development
"Trayconizer allows you to minimize virtually any application to the
system tray rather than having it take up valuable space in your taskbar.
The screen shot to the left shows Trayconizer minimizing Notepad to the
system tray."

sw4you - SwSystemTray
"A utility that create a Icon from any program in the SystemTray. "

And yet another:
freewarehits.de - ToolsPackage
"TrayMan: Adds the icon of any file into the system tray"
