I use the UnxUtils package:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
It includes all of the commands I need and accepts forward slashes as
well as backslashes. I use these commands from the standard precompiled
gvim.exe from vim.org.
I have cygwin as well, but it is later in my %PATH%.
Although technically not an answer to your question, I think this is the
best solution to your problem.
Best regards,
Robert
PS: Actually I use the Labrat Toolkit which includes the UnxUtils
package, but labrattech.com seems to have issues with php syntax at the
moment. When they are up and running again you must check this out.
When I was on Windows, I tried the unxutils package, but I had some problems
with it, I don't remember which ones. Apparently it works for some people, so
let those go on using it. For people like me, happily there is another set of
Unix-like programs which work under native Windows, viz. the GnuWin32
utilities (available as a SourceForge project).
I used to have GnuWin32 late in my PATH (after any Micro$oft programs of the
same name such as sort.exe) and Cygwin not in the PATH at all (except of
course in the terminal window running Cygwin bash, where it came early in the
$PATH).
Best regards,
Tony.
