Would Windows only be a problem?

Only in the sense that the resulting layout file must be properly Tar'ed into the receiver tarball, and I don't think there's a Windows program which handles that aspect of it properly. I seem to recall that there's some kind of a versioning resource that needs to be made part of the tarball, and I think only Linux programs currently handle that.

At least, that's the way I recall it. I could be wrong. I have exactly enough Linux knowledge to make me dangerous. Can anyone else give better information on that?
