you may create small .iso image that consist of some stupid images, readme 
or autorun configured to format c: ;), then strip first 512 bytes of it 
with

dd if=winiso.iso bs=512 skip=1 of=tmp;mv tmp winiso.iso

THEN

tar Your files as you said, but put winiso.iso first :)

this way - unix user using tar will extract what's needed (just have to 
delete winiso.iso after), windoze user will see what you wanted in 
winiso.iso
