I also looked for a schrader valve recently. I ended up using the thread of a Dunlop valve: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunlop_val ... r_Woods.29
Basically I went to my friendly local bicycle repair shop, got an old inner tube for free and cut the valve stem out of it.
It seems that the Schrader and Dunlop threads have the same diameter. Fits perfectly in the hole for Schrader valves on my bicycle pump.
Dunlop valves are used widely in Germany and the Netherlands, so if you happen to live there... 8)
