hmmm, you are correct, and apparently, this is a popular question to
the maintainers (note these links are circular):

however, i *did* find out that GASP is in the cheeseshop:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gasp/0.4.5

sooo, what does this mean? it means if you install EasyInstall...

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#windows-notes (NOTE!)

..., then installing GASP would be as easy as opening up a Command/DOS
window and issuing:
C:\> easy_install gasp

you'll see some output like:
Searching for gasp
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/gasp/
Reading http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/bazaar/gasp
Best match: gasp 0.4.5
Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/g/gasp/gasp-0.4.5-py2.5.egg
Processing gasp-0.4.5-py2.5.egg
creating c:\python25\lib\site-packages\gasp-0.4.5-py2.5.egg
Extracting gasp-0.4.5-py2.5.egg to c:\python25\lib\site-packages
     :

you'll find that EasyInstall is a great tool to have because you can
continue to use it to install other Python related software moving
forward, all in a similarly "easy" manner.

good luck!
