I think this won't be the only command you will not find, e.g. sed is 
later used on, and there is no windows command I know of, that has this 
functionality. I use the very well ported GNUWin32 tools:

http://GNUWin32.sf.net

It has all the GNU Tools you need: core-utils, sed, grep, whatever 
(except bash though :( ). Actually I was succesful in running the sh 
files on my Windows box with win-bash and GNUWin32 Tools without too 
much problems, e.g. running "ctest" in the build directory actually run 
all scripts (but not all correct).

But does it make sense to change sh-files to use windows commands, 
instead of writing windows batch files? Might be the same work? 
Especially if you try to get around sed :).

Werner
