 This is really sad.  You're not really doing Windows users any favors by
doing this.
"tar" and "gzip" are "must know" tools.
Let me quote from the GNU macs on Windows FAQ

"You can find precompiled versions of all of the compression and archive
utilities in ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/utilities/. "

  It would seem to make more sense to include gzip and tar.on the web site.
