Hmm, make that ZIP-ball (we have no .tar support in the standard
lib, only ZIP-file support). Also, the setup.py will have to 
check whether it has to grab a level 0 compression ZIP file or
a level 9 one.

Nothing which cannot be done, of course... net installers
are quite common these days (see e.g. Mozilla, IE and others),
so people are probably quite used to them already. And
we can always provide a full install download as well.
