GNU Utilities for Win32

Via Leonard, GNU utilities for Win32 provides a whole bunch of useful utilities in Windows friendly binaries, without the need for external libraries such as Cygwin, including gzip, tar, flex, bison, make, grep and the ever useful wget. The package also includes diff, which makes me feel a lot more comfortable about using it from within PHP scripts as portability to Windows will no longer be an issue.

These are great! If I had 5 cents for every time I wanted to pipe something through grep, awk, and the like in Windows, I could give "$0.02" on every weblog in the world...
