NAMEinator_0.0.5_windows_amd64.tar.gz is missing the datasrc folder #47

Description

@SMcCandlish

The Win version is missing the data it needs to actually run and do anything. Has to be found in source.zip or source.tar.gz (and people unfamiliar with this sort of source-based and command-line-oriented tool may not understand they should look there for it).

PS: It doesn't make much sense to distribute Windows packages in tar.gz form. It doesn't provide any benefit, and a lot of Windows people won't know what to do with it, with what tools (nor are all of them very good for this; e.g. 7Zip, which "does everything" doesn't quite; you have to extract the gz then the tar as separate operations, as it doesn't seem smart enough to interpret it as a single archive to process in two steps). ZIP would better, as Windows Explorer has support for that built in already and pretty much everyone already knows what to do with it.

PPS: Thanks for including 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 by default. I found it irritating that the original NameBench 1.3.1 did not, and still won't run tests against them by default even after you add them to the config file; you have to manually add them to the list of servers to use in the top line of the GUI - every single time, since it doesn't save your changes to that line.
