*nix commands on windows

[kitepilot at kitepilot.com]

I personally support Cygwin and (to a point) like it, but I don't ever use 
it unless I have NO OTHER POSSIBLE OPTION whatsoever...
For example, for some reason my Linux box quit connecting to my daytime job 
VPN and I installed a SSH server using Cygwin so I can create a reverse 
tunnel and access the AIX server and Linux boxes I actually do stuff with.
