*nix commands on windows

[James Mcphee]

Same.  When stuck on windows for whatever reason and a linux VM isn't an
option (or when I have to run windows as core) I use cygwin.  It's not
perfect, and isn't a replacement, but many of the tools are available
through cygwin so that I'm not completely lost trying to get a cmd window
to pipe things.
