Normally we forward these kind of request to upstream first oder
(Thomas Esser). He normally refuses to include packages, not
available on CTAN. So, two tasks for you:

1. Cause the author to upload the package to CTAN
2. the perl script exceltex and the style file exceltex.sty do not
   contain a copyright statement. Both are GPL, as the COPYING file
   contains the GPL and one can read in the README a statement, but
   this is not explicitely written in the programs itself.
   I'de suggest to add an entry just to make sure...

Regards,
  Hilmar
