Be careful what is really the question here. If we are talking R 
packages, BINARY .zip package do not contain the same files as SOURCE 
.tar.gz packages and no generic tool will convert one to the other. For 
building binary Windows packages from source, you need to install the 
build tools, as per http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools.
