[Cialug] create .tgz on Win32

[David Champion]

Will be running as a .bat script scheduled task, as Administrator. My 
test was when logged in as Administrator.

I typed:

tar -cvf - c:\test\*.* | gzip > test.tgz

It says:

tar: Cannot open-: Permission denied

Maybe the stdin / stdout thing is b0rked in the Win32 version.
