I'd vote for another approach.
PowerArchiver for Windows, unlike WinZip, _is_ able to deal with .tar.gz
archives - at least Version 6.11 does (definitely, just tested).
>From the FAQ, that's contained in the 6.11 package:

Q: What is the difference between PowerArchiver and other archive utilities?
A: PowerArchiver is easier, it's FREE and it has more features than most
   other archive programs.
[...]
Q: Can I put a link to your page from my home page?
A: Yes, you are very welcome to. On the PowerArchiver web site you can find
   small pictures of "PowerArchiver Now" which you can freely put on your
   page and link to http://www.powerarchiver.com
Q: Can we put PowerArchiver on our CD-ROM or distribute it with our
   magazine?
A: Definitely! I will be very happy that you did.


�nstead of offering a second base package archive, we'd be probably better
with offering PowerArchiver from the FG servers (with credits to the author
somewhere),
