Personally, despite being an experienced (WIndows and Unix) developer

dislike having to install 3rd-party Windows software from random
places on the net, that you never know if it is reliable or infected
by malware and whatnot. rar, 7z, blecch.
it appears that i somehow got "lzma" (which should give similar size
benefits) installed in cygwin, by just following the Windows build setup
instructions; i wonder whether 7z and lzma are compatible.
another question is how much time this would add to the build, as gzip
is quite fast; but perhaps tarring is IO-bound on Windows anyway (it
seems like everything is on that platform...) so maybe it's not a
problem; google finds parallel implementations of lzma also if that
should be a problem...
