Actually, I just use these: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ (*way* smaller than 350MB).

The only problem with installing that I've had is that find.exe already exists under c:\windows, so you need to put the 
/bin directories for this at the *start* of your system path.  Otherwise, you can't use the unix-style 'find' command, 
but everything else still works.

The Windows/DOS shell isn't as crippled as you'd think, it just doesn't have any good commands.  The utils are 
non-backslash friendly, but as the DMD tools are *forward-slash* friendly, I just quit using backslashes altogether.

Rebuild has a small issue with forward-slashes on Windows though. :(
