This is off-topic, but you may be more interested in native ports of the
GNU tools, such as <http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/> or
<http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/>.  They are designed to be standalone,
and don't depend on a Cygwin environment.  Of course they might not work
quite the same as some functionality is likely missing.
