I think the easiest way to run the cygwin tar from CMD (if you don't
want to just put your cygwin bin dir on your Windows PATH) is to
create a bat file that calls the cygwin tar. That way you always get
the latest cygwin tar & dll versions from the main install. Something
like this seems to work fine (with very minimal testing):
@echo off
PATH=C:\cygwin64\bin
C:\cygwin64\bin\tar %*
