  I had some trouble with those.  Some of the utilities don't build
all the features that the UnxUtils variants do.  I also had some DLL
hell between them and UnxUtils and/or other utilities I had.  They do
indeed depend on some DLLs, just not as many as Cygwin.  ssleay sticks
out in my mind.  It's been awhile; I forget the details.  I've had
UnxUtils for some time so availability wasn't a concern.  And it's not
like "grep" has changed significantly in the past few years.  But hey,
if it works for you, more power to you.  :-)

  FYI, FWIW, IMO, YMMV, HTH, HAND, IBM, AT&T, TMA, etc.
