Improved compatibility with Windows by providing zip binary archives #321

Description

As very briefly mentioned in #204

Then, I think it's better to have Windows releases in zip format, since there is no .tar.gz support natively, I use 7zip for that.

It would be very, very cool if you could provide Windows binary releases as .zip archive instead of .tar.gz – Windows isn't natively able to unpack/work with .tar.gz. This makes it especially troublesome because tools such as winget are also not able to deal with .tar.gz either.

Providing .zip files would open up a lot of additional fancy integration possibilities via e.g. winget and related tooling making adoption on Windows way easier and nicer.
