Came across this when I was looking for a bzip2 program (besides winrar) for 
handling bz2 compression.. wanting to use it to pipe pg_dump to for backups.

Looks like it has all the main command line utils, there's a 
downloader/extracter program that you can use with two batch files, one 
downloads, the other extracts/installs... Add the bin path for the install 
folder to the PATH environment variable, and gnu/nix goodness at the command 
prompt...  It seems to be pretty well kept up, and doesn't rely on cygwin 
libraries, there are some recommendations for environment variables to add if 
you don't have them, which is easy enough...
