I use the Cygwin toolkit.  It has most of the "common" Linux/GNU utils,
so you'll have tar, zip, gzip/gunzip, cpio, bash, ... and, of course,
gcc and make.  So, if the tool you want isn't there, chances are good
you can compile it out of the box under Cygwin (so long as we're not
talking about things that need direct hardware access).

See:  http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

Other projects (gcc, Java...) can be found under:
