Shep, thank you, but my thought was a tool would need to be recommended for Windows users to write disk images to USB mass storage devices. The rest of the world can use dd(1).

My impression is that unetbootin writes an iso to a usb drive and adds the boot blocks to the usb drive and I thought your goal was to produce *.img files. It is a little confusing in the link as the author used the *.bin suffix for his usb image.

Really easy. Watch out. Everything is done with qemu by Fabrice Bellard. Just install that package and blindly follow the instructions below.
# qemu-img create liveusb-miniX.bin 1000000
# qemu -hda liveusb-miniX.bin -cdrom install47.iso
(Install OpenBSD into the file store and whatever packages
you need but create only one partition wd0a)
Now change the line in /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
to
/dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1
That is it! You are ready to dd(1) now. See below.
Creating a LiveCD is more work because you need a read only OS. No such issue with writeable USB memory sticks.

I did a quick search and found this
Arch USB Installation Media Wiki that lists a number of options for Windows users
