There is some difference (timestamps?) which causes building from the tarred sources to fail on Windows (see bug #69829). Furthermore extracting the tarred sources with 7zip (which seems to be a pretty common archiver) results in spurious PaxHeaders.##### directories, what is bug in 7zip[1], and doesn't really affect the build, but is confusing nonetheless (and requires more disk space). At least until these issue are solved, IMO it's better to link to the "Windows" sources packaged as .zip. [1] <http://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/1413/> -- Christoph M.
