[scribus] Windows zip file distribution

[Jürgen Weber]

Yes, it's a nice installer. Unfortunately, it need's admin rights,
even if it wouldn't have to (as Scribus runs fine without being
installed).
On my home PC I also work without Admin rights.

Seems like there are more people who don't like installers: see
