For our Rails application at my job (which bundles Ruby, Apache, Postgres, etc, etc...), we install everything into a scratch directory, use find to remove all .svn files, and make a tarball of the result. There's a lot more that goes on, but that's the basic process.
The customer just unpacks the tarball and runs a script to fire the whole thing up. We don't support Windows for this app, so I don't have any experience packaging for that platform. I think our other products which do run on Windows use an InstallShield installer.

It needs to be deployed to Linux and Windows. I can't just tar /dir because I have .svn files I don't want to include as well as test directories. I planned on using a form of tar/zip.

What distro is it running, It is pretty simple to make RPM's
You can also as suggested simply tar it up tar -czvf myapp.tar.gz /full/path/to/app/
On the server tar -xzvf myapp.tar.gz -C /
