How do I download a ZIP file of an entire project from Google Code when there are no prepared downloads available?

This is what I see on the checkout page:

Command-line access
Use this command to anonymously check out the latest project source code:

svn checkout http://myproject.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ myproject-read-only

But I'm working on Windows and I don't have the svn binaries ... do I need these?

I can access individual source code file or view the Subversion HTML pages, but that just allows me to access source code files one-by-one.

If you don't want to install anything but do want to download an SVN or GIT repository, then you can use this: http://downloadsvn.codeplex.com/

I have nothing to do with this project, but I just used it now and it saved me a few minutes. Maybe it will help someone.
