Well, that's weird, because we already have the "Download ZIP" feature in GitHub for this use case.
I thought the tar archive was an alternate (or reference) version of the zip (that's better suited for deployment from non windows OSes btw). The dev and build folders, while presenting no interest to the end-user, are in the zip still.
