Creating tar archives

"python setup.py sdist" creates .tar.gz archives per the setup.cfg settings in each project.

If you do not have tar and gzip installed via some other method, install http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tar.htm and http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm and add c:\program files\gnuwin32\bin to your system path.
