xargs is available for Windows and its much less troublesome, in the even
Fun Run [1], for you to fix your tools than for every tool to work around 
your lack thereof.  Here's one on pure Perl.

IMHO there's really on so much crippleware one should support.  I'm not fond
of having to do more work for people who can't be bothered to put together
a decent dev environment.  How far does this go?  The standard Windows pager 
stinks, should prove include its own pager?


[1] A marathon is ~26 miles.  Then there's half marathons.  10 kilo runs.  
5 kilo runs.  Finally there's the "Fun Run" which is usually a mile.
