There is some difference (timestamps?) which causes building from the
tarred sources to fail on Windows (see bug #69829). Furthermore
extracting the tarred sources with 7zip (which seems to be a pretty
common archiver) results in spurious PaxHeaders.##### directories, what
is bug in 7zip[1], and doesn't really affect the build, but is confusing
nonetheless (and requires more disk space).
At least until these issue are solved, IMO it's better to link to the
"Windows" sources packaged as .zip.
