I don't have any, but...

I just tried it again drag-and-dropping a tarball *without* spaces in
the path (spaces make Windows include " " around the parameter), and
the \'s weren't properly quoted.  Anybody know how to get it to work
either way?  Also be nice if it could be made to work on just the
dll.bz2 file also.

If we can come up with a general purpose, no extra packages required,
bat file, maybe it could be downloadable directly from the snapshots
page.
