Its quite off topic here, but maybe this could be a starting point for you:

c't Offline Update (English: DIY Service Pack, Download)

It downloads (via wget) the official hotfix information from Microsoft (a cab file, contains all necessary informations in xml format), transforms it using several xslt files, and downloads everything relevant. What you want is quite similar so it can serve as a base for your solution.

Kind regards,
Tomalak
