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).
