How to download/checkout a project from Google Code in Windows?

Question

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 install TortoiseSVN you can use SVN under windows. It also gives you the SVN binaries. You needn't do the checkout from the command-line though as it integrates into Windows Explorer for you.
