Yes. I build up a binary release of a gcc cross-compiler for the AVR target 
hosted on Windows (MinGW). I only need to grab the core and c++ components. My 
Linux and FreeBSD companions do the same. There's also the possibility in the 
future of adding ada as a front-end as well.

I would put my USD0.02 into removing the .gz files and just keeping .bz2, since 
they're smaller files. Can't bzip2 be found on all platforms? I know it's 
available on Windows.
