Except that they shouldn't even be being created on Windows in the first place. 
I understand that this is how you've been doing it, but it would make a lot 
more sense for a build machine like the auto tester to be generating the 
tarballs as part of the build. Then they're being built locally to the OSes 
that they're going to be used on, and the process is properly automatable. We 
can even have nightly dev releases that way. I believe that this is what Brad 
Roberts started working on with some recent pull requests towards creating 
make install targets. Ideally, none of the official build and packaging process 
would rely on your local setup.
