Feature request: Distribute Windows version as a ZIP file

[Brian Smith]

It would convenient for some users to have GHC for Windows available as a 
ZIP file (i.e. not just as an MSI file). The Windows Installer is disabled 
on many systems, such as in University computer labs and corporate 
workstations. I discovered this when my laptop died and I tried to download 
and run GHC on a computer in my university's lab. AFAICT, there is no simple 
way to extract the files out of an MSI file.
 BTW, the preference of ZIP over other formats (e.g. tar.gz) is that ZIP 
files are extractable on Windows XP without any third-party programs like 
WinZip.
 Thanks,
Brian
