FWIW, it would have been *really* nice if this had been implemented as a

Not too late ;-)

PGP 5.0 sends the following request:
"GET /pks/lookup?op=get&exact=on&search=<Email Address|Key ID> HTTP/1.0"

The new keyserver works on port 11371. Most Web servers should be 
configurable to listen on this port.
