Drush Make on Windows

Here is a compilation of information (from posts I've found), that when combined got me drush make to work on my windows box.  Windows 7 has some issues with permissions, but I'm looking into that.

Needed to run:

• DRUPAL-6--2 branch of Drush Make - I'm using the version from 6/14/2010.
• GnuWin32 packages - I used GetGnuWin32 ( http://getgnuwin32.sourceforge.net/) for this large feat. :)
• Slash and Tar Patch - thanks to ribbles (http://drupal.org/node/625948#comment-2993878) plus Tar patch thanks to this post http://drupal.org/node/818192

1. Once GnuWin32 is installed, rename the copy of tar.exe to something else (tar-old.exe). Tar.exe is old and doesn't do the required things for drush_make.  There's more info on tar.exe on the GnuWin32 site (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gtar.htm)
2. Copy bsdtar.exe to tar.exe
3. run the drush make command: drush -v -d make standard.make Test

Here is the standard.make (example):
