Ondrej, you may be interested in some hack I've done to use winrm from fabric: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/pull/872 It gives a new winrm_run function where you can put any batch command. While the code is a hack, it works pretty well in practice. This works from mac os x and linux, without the need for wine, or ssh on windows.
