I don't know how old this topic is, but here's my 2 cents. You could use
7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/, GPL, small and inobtrusive). It has command
line support so you can write a batch file/python script for it (it's two
lines of code and you get one-click tar-gzing - if you go the Python route
you can even do some preprocessing on the files, like inserting version
numbers and/or copyrights). You can even specify command lines for 7-xip to
build SFX files if I'm not mistaken, so you can have the batch file create
them too for Win users. It's how I pack my apps and it works like a charm
:).
