Hi Martin,
It also seems that windows binaries are packed as .tar.gz - could we make them .zip? Windows users that are downloading binaries are unlikely to have cygwin/ming tools installed.
Most unzip tools support tarballs - 7-zip, winrar, etc. You could argue that Windows has native support for zip, but really, who uses that? Most people I know install 7-zip (it's open source) as soon as they start setting up a new machine. Pretty much the first thing to do on a new machine.
I think it was done like that for consistency. I don't know if it would be hard to package to .zip on Windows and to .tar.gz on Linux/MacOS? Perhaps Mattias could help here since he did the packaging.
