Hi,

You mean cmd.exe + coreutils should be enough?

Ideally yes, plus some POSIX shell.

Probably bash or some other POSIX shell too, surely?

Yeah. Note that e.g. busybox already includes the ash shell.

Is there a non-Cygwin such that actually would support all the shell
constructs we use? Is its complexity that much less than Cygwin's?

busybox, msys, there are quite a few standalone bash ports.

Note that I am not saying we should stop all other work and kill additional
dependencies now, but keeping an eye on not needlessly introducing hard
dependencies to keep our options is a Good Thing(tm) IMHO.

Best,

Bjoern
