How soon do you need that?  Work is under way on Bash 2.03, but the
latest beta still has some problems.  So if you can work around the
missing features, I suggest to do that.

The latest beta is at http://members.xoom.com/snowball3/, so you could
try that as well.  (If you do, please report any findings to Mark
Elbrecht who is working on the port.)

Porting Bash is not for the faint of heart.  It takes a lot of effort
to drag a shell so entrenched in Unix, screaming and cicking, into the
alien world of DOS/Windows, and still have it run seamlessly all the
shell scripts written for Unix.
