> Question: Why is a windows installer being distributed in a tar.gz?

Because it's not?

 geda-runtime*.exe
    Installer for common GTK et all subsystems to support all gEDA
    packages (gaf, pcb, gerbv, etc). Required in addition to other
    packages.

 pcb-*.exe
    Installer for PCB (more to come later!) - must install a
    geda-runtime.exe also.

 build-*.zip
    A pre-built Windows version, ready to go. Note - this extracts
    into the current directory, so start in a new empty dir. Each new
    snapshot can be installed on top of the old one. You must set some
    environment variables:

The only thing that's in a tar.gz is the sources, and anyone building
from sources should know what to do with a tar.gz
