Well... as someone pointed out, there are the CygWin tools... which will
give you bash, and maybe some of the other shells (tcsh perhaps?) too...
And you can use sed and grep and awk and a lot of the other Unixy tools
too.
Ultimately, anything can be MADE portable... it just takes a different
degree of effort (i.e. you may need to write an implmentation of
something yourself to do it).
