Yes, but since their not compiled with gnu-win32 gcc, all the nifty 
features, like the mounted dirs,  we enjoy aren't there.

I haven't gotten around to trying to compile another shell yet, but 
I'd imagine it'd be fairly easy to get a simple shell made.  Perhaps 
strip out the signaling and stuff (I could live without hitting 
Ctrl-C for a while longer, though it is nice to have it back in 
bash).
