Hi Kurt,

I can partially help.  There currently isn't a _FREE_ version of sh;
although I've been working on porting bash.  I do have fileutils plus
others ported though.  The package name is mingw32-sup.1.0.tar.gz and
you can find it at
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/mingw32/porters/Boyd_Earnie/

The gnumake that comes with cygnus should suffice for the make.  If
you don't have the MAKE_MODE variable set then it will understand the
native paths just fine.  If you prefer, there is a native version you
can find via Colin Peters' page.  You can also find a native GCC from
there.

BTW, the functions within the CRTDLL understand both "\" and "/" as
path delimiters.

that cygwin32 changes pathnames to '//C/..' and does not recognize '\'
pathnames well (both are causing major problems with other native
tools), I need a native NT port of gnumake, sh and the fileutils (I
don't need GCC, just make, sh and fileutils) that does not use the
cygwin.dll.  I have not been able to find any native NT gnu ports on
the web.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

-------------------- IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE ------------------------
You should get the following to update your cygwinb19 package:

Sergey Okhapkin's coolview package which contains an updated 
cygwinb19.dll.  (Yes, even if you've already downloaded the b19.1 
update from the Cygnus Site).

Mumit Khan's compilation of EGCS for the cygwinb19.dll; especially if 
you're using the C++ compiler.  The current version of the compiler
that 
comes with the tools has lots of problems that have been fixed with 
the EGCS version.  This is a drop-in replacement for the GCC toolset.

URL's are listed above.
