Ingram Braun M.A. <m...@ingram-braun.net> was very helpfull giving me more
details on that by testing on Windows 10.
Basically, I'll need to:
* skip permissions testing on MS Windows (it is not portable anyway)
* validate if bzip2 and gzip are available in the current user PATH
variable. If not, the tests should be skipped or I just stop the
setup by generating a NA.
Second item is a difficult choice: it won't work out of the box, the
user will need to install those tools and setup the PATH variable
mannually. In those strict cases, the tests would pass.
Is there any standard way to generate a NA as a result from tests?

Does it make any sense at all to try to make the distro to work with
MS Windows? I'm not using Windows for a while already, so I'm not
sure if the tar.exe can work together with bzip2 or not.
I would assume that GNU tar on Windows works just fine with bzip2 if
it's installed. After all, it certainly works with gzip.
