There's also a windows port of busybox if you want something more stable. w64devkit uses it.

Not similar at all - too heavy weight when you just want to use a small tool.
How the heck is a portable 637KB .exe that doesn't require any installation, extraction or admin rights to run, "too heavy weight"?
This one might interest you, although it's quite old.

Busybox's shell is ash, but the above set includes an old zsh IIRC.

Note also that the Frippery Windows busybox is available as a 64-bit version, in case 2gb is not enough (easy with some big awk associative arrays).
