Improved compatibility with Windows by providing zip binary archives

[Okeanos]

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.

Closed by accident when going through my list of open issues. Apologies for any confusion.

@mstruebing I may be able to provide a PR for this but just to be sure I am not overlooking anything too obvious … the relevant change would be in the Makefile and probably involve a Windows vs. everything else check, right?

@Okeanos yes you are right. Except you would want to compress all binaries as zips.
The wrapper (php, javascript, pyhton) will need to adjust anyway so I would think one format which can be used anywhere would be better than making exceptions - if that's possible. But I guess zip is common on every OS.
