I am not a Windows person (once I thought heard one particular
version of NT was POSIX compliant but I did not believe it), but
I suspect bash or not they may have trouble with POSIXism (iow
UNIX heritage), and if the port is done the right way by adding
compatibility layer they would end up reinventing Cygwin or
something close to it...
