If you install Git for Windows (msysgit 
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/), it installs a good swath of shell 
tools and can add them to your path.

it's actually really cool to be able to do an "ls -Al" and "chmod" from 
the Windows7 command prompt and have them work.  Or you could download 
just the ones you want from their repository 
http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git/tree/HEAD:/bin
