No, I am not joking. I'm a windows user who wants to distribute his project in 
tar.gz, and I don't know how I'm supposed to operate this tar thing, or whether 
gzip is like tar, because that's the top result in Google. Also, even if I had 
that tar program, I wouldn't know how to make distutils use it.

So what am I supposed to do?
