I might be missing something, but as I mentioned, I fail to see how this program serves the packaging process better than the zip utility available on Linux.
All the build, install, and test scripts run on windows (using plink to build things on the other platforms). Writing a script to transfer all the files to linux, reset the permissions, run zip, copy the results back, etc., will take longer than just writing that trivial utility. That's what programming languages are for.
