Julien, It sounds like you are in good shape for OSGeo4W integration and careful repackaging of your ZIP as a .tar.bz file, possibly with some post install or initialization scripts should be all that is needed. I would be happy to assist in any way I can to make this happen. For instance arranging access to upload the package to the server, advice on packaging, etc. Packaging instructions are available at: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/PackagingInstructions It sounds like the OrfeoToolbox is a "soft" dependency for QGIS. That is, QGIS can take advantage of it if present, but does not require it. Hopefully this means we don't need to make Orfeo a declared dependency of QGIS.
