Hello Jeremy, I think too that modifying the existing wizard is the best way to do it.
Ages ago, I did some work on the wizards, while porting them to KDE4. I might be able to help if you run into troubles. For those of you who don't know Jeremy, he is a long-time KDE contributor, and he was the person doing the bulk of the work to convert KMM to git.
