I was a bit unclear. On win32, cmake uses the 7-zip program
(www.7-zip.org) to create tar.gz archives. Just tar.gz for all
platforms will be great. This weekend I was wrongly under the
impression that cmake could only use the 7-zip program
to create zip or 7zip(the format) archives but cmake was better then I
thought. So tar.gz it is.

This has been my thought to. I should probably put a page about
packaging on the wiki.
I'll try some more and then try to get some discussion going on the cmake list.
