Make life simple. Go to the Gnu site and download the stuff for Windows. There is a small exe that you install, and it manages installing the rest. You will get a nice shell and many Unix commands into the bargain. Then, your scripting environment will be the same. Run the same scripts on Linux and Windows. I do this and am happy with the setup. If you are using ImageMagik, you can install the winders version and be complete.
