This is a nifty utility which will allow you to run any
program as a NT service.  To quote their website:

"FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and
run virtually any native Win32 application or script
(eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python) as a Windows NT/2K/XP
service. FireDaemon features easy configuration (via
GUI or XML), a low memory/CPU overhead, subprocess
prioritisation, custom environments, CPU binding plus
monitoring and logging to the event log and on-disk log
files.
"
