Archive::Tar::Wrapper makes sense with MS Windows?

Hi again,

This report:

https://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/aa4f5cac-6e3a-1014-a899-817a51db77ab

Is about an error with MS Windows trying to run tar.exe:

2018/06/05 11:08:18 C:\WINDOWS\system32\tar.EXE jx -f C:\STRAWB~1\cpan\build\Archive-Tar-Wrapper-0.25-0\t\data\foo.tar.bz2 failed: tar.EXE: Error opening archive: Can't initialize filter; unable to run program "bzip2 -d"

Does it make any sense at all to try to make the distro to work with MS Windows? I'm not using Windows for a while already, so I'm not sure if the tar.exe can work together with bzip2 or not.

I could skip the tests (maybe with some explanatory message stating that the configuration is broken) but Archive::Tar::Wrapper would be broken anyway, at least when bzip2 is involved.

Thanks,
Alceu
