I see three directions gnuwin32 could/should go:
1. Providing Unix based tools that are usable in win32. How a person
can live without a reasonable shell, diff, grep and friends ...
2. Provide a development environment for the translation of the
vast freeware of unix to win32.
3. Make an environment as nearly unix-like as possible.

I see some conflict in these goals. For example #1 would make files
as nearly dos.like as possible while #3 would make the files as
nearly unix-like as possible.
