The link he posted doesn't use Cygwin. That project compiled native
.exes for several traditional Unix utilities, depending only on
msvcrt.dll (distributed with windows).
Apparently the .zip containing them is a dead link now, though. It used
to be a quite compact download with lots of stand-alone utils though. I
just re-zipped my install on another computer and it was only 137k.
