Yeah, it's pretty old and dusty. What are you looking to do? You
might what to look at http://www.mingw.org/ or just set up a
virtualized *nix environment. I don't have a suggestion for what tool
to use; from what Dr. Google says, Qemu for Windows is still in alpha
stage. There's also the Windows Power Shell, which is not *nix, but
tries to provide a decent batch environment.
