You mean cmd.exe + coreutils should be enough?

Ideally yes, plus some POSIX shell.

and i want a pony.

there's a long list of Cygwin packages that are currently needed, and
likely Cygwin is the most convenient way to install all this stuff:

setup-x86.exe -P autoconf -P automake -P bison -P cabextract -P doxygen
-P flex -P gcc-g++ -P git -P gnupg -P gperf -P libxml2-devel -P
libpng12-devel -P make -P mintty -P openssh -P openssl -P patch -P perl
-P perl_vendor -P pkg-config -P python -P readline -P rsync -P unzip -P
vim -P wget -P zip

well a few of those look spurious, e.g. gcc-g++ is no longer needed, and
i wonder why gnupg or openssh or rsync are on the list...

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.

it's possible that Msys has a lot of the things we need, but perhaps not
things like cabextract, doxygen, gperf, perl, python.
