Can someone familiar with `UnxUtils` evaluate this and determine the difference?

Both are out of date and distributed as binaries... What else? :)

Seriously though, if you fork the project and dump the tarballs into a branch, I'll check it out and run make. Or, I'll write a script that runs a bunch of individual makes. Whatever.

I like `UnxUtils` (and Gow) but this practice is not sustainable..

UnxUtils hasn't been maintained for a dozen years. There is also GnuWin32 which has only been dead for five years.

GoW is pretty much the same thing but not abandoned yet. Some things are definitely out of date, I end up pulling curl from elsewhere, but it provides most of the important things and they Just Work. Beats the hell out of using Cygwin.
