I agree with your comments on Cygwin. It may be great for
those coming from a unix environment who need training
wheels - but for those of us working on Windows systems,
it's just an inconvenience.
I use 4nt - it's not free. Among its many many features, it
can deal with files for just about anywhere - include http
pages and ftp sites. For example, I can update my runtime
files from the vim ftp site with something like:
copy /u /s %vim_ftp_address %my_local
Back to your 'uniq' request. If it really bothers you to
add the %! in front of uniq, use vimscript to write
something more to your liking. The sort followed by uniq
metaphor you mention is simple:
sort | %!uniq -c
A common metaphor I use adds sorting the counts in reverse
order. This does not work:
sort | %!uniq -c | sort! n
If you're running into that problem, a solution is:
sort | exe '%!uniq -c' | sort! n
