Or there's the Cygwin-enabled version:

<http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/r10.1/bin.cygwinx86/p4.exe>

It should be noted that:

   1. I haven't tried this version recently.  It could be hopelessly broken
      now for all I know.

   2. There is no source for the above executable so this is (still) in
      violation of the GPL AFAICS.
