A windows script would be easy to write with windows commands apart from
the tar stuff - zip should be used on the windows platform and than we
would need a zip program also :) (which we would get via
gnuwin32.sf.net). Anyway, Jim was already able doing it, so no problem
here I think (though he didn't include 3rd party libraries).
The problem with including the external libraries, if any, I would
suggest to solve on the script level. Just write copy commands in the
script, maybe this has to be edited by hand or maybe this could be done
during the cmake call or so. But I think this is the best way with the
lowest effort.
