Are you familiar with file versioning tools such as RCS or CVS? We use
Subversion (
http://subversion.tigris.org/) to manage our files. If you
get a subversion client for Windows, you can just check out the
bibtex2rdf project and get everything in one go. I use TortoiseSVN on
my Windows XP machine (
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/)
There's a detailed manual online; this particular part may be what
you're looking for (although TortoiseSVN is a graphical client, so
you'll be using the mouse instead of the command line in these examples):

The repository root of bibtex2rdf is:

Perhaps Nick might also be interested in building a distribution of his
work?

I'll have to get back to you on that. I loaned said Windows machine out
for a spell. I can check on Virtual PC, but I have to get Java running
in it first.
For reference, I think this might be the same issue (it's also unresolved):
