By POSIX, I mean standard command line POSIX APIs. In practice, things that run on Mac / Linux / BSDs. They often don't build on Windows due to a lack of pthreads, or fork. In some cases, I'd like to make these apps truely windows compatible (unless Bash on Windows gets so good we can just ask people to install that).

I hadn't heard of babun. It looks like a much neater cygwin distro, I will give it a try.
