The BusyBox multi-call binary is now available.
http://www.busybox.net/about.html
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common utilities into a single
executable.
Packages:
busybox: busybox and symlinks for all supported functions installed in
/usr/libexec/busybox/bin.
busybox-standalone: busybox compiled with 'standalone shell' feature
installed in /usr/libexec/busybox-standalone/bin.
busybox-doc: man page and documentation files.
The busybox and busybox-standalone packages install a symlink to
busybox.exe in /usr/bin with alternatives(8). If both packages are
installed, the non-standalone version takes precedence.
All configuration options which work on Cygwin are enabled. The included
'ash' shell provides reasonable support for interactive usage (command
line editing, history search, job control, fancy prompts, aliases, ...).
A tiny version of Cygwin could be created by copying
/usr/libexec/busybox{,-standalone} tree and adding cygwin1.dll to .../bin.
See the /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/busybox.README file for usage examples and
further info.
Supported functions:

BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
utilities into a single executable. Most people will create a
link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
will act like whatever it was invoked as.
