Can windows open gzipped tarballs natively? If not, I'm worried that change might be a little too agressive for windows users.

@bmispelon I haven't used it, but AFAIK Python on Windows can do that, Python ships with both a tarfile and gzip library. brb testing..

Our own documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#installing-an-official-release-manually) recommends bsdtar (command line) or 7-zip (GUI) so it might not be such a big problem after all.

I tried on Python 3.4 on Windows 7 just now and it worked.
