Installing on Windows

[SteveDavis]

Hi - I've been attempting to install this on Windows. The problem is that as a standard there isn't a 'tar' equivalent on windows.

I've downloaded a gnu-compatible tar.exe, but it's pretty old and it doesn't support the -J option

Is it possible to alter the install package so that the code is supplied as .tar files (as opposed to .tar.xz) and change the Rakefile accordingly so that it doesn't use the J option?

I do have a method of manuallyconverting .xz to .tar, but any time I run the 'gem install' command the Rakefile is overwritten - so I lose any changes I attempt.

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks - Steve
