WE cannot avoid it: some day you need to send several files to a Windows user: you use a packing tool either because there are many files or because the file had been too fat and can be compressed.
What format to use: most western people I think will choose zip, for me I got a problem: the Chinese file names, after un-packaged on Windows, is junk text because on Linux we all use UTF-8 and Windows Chinese version using different charset (GB18030) ----------------------
Have you tried jar?
WinRAR is even able to handle TAR, GZIP and BZIP2 archives. So give it a try and use the native tools :)
BTW, if it works (or not) I'd be pleased to hear about this,
So am I :)
