Builtin alternatives for several commands?
I'm adapting a BASH script to run with an absolute minimal amounts of Cygwin64 files so colleagues using Windows can use it without installing Cygwin.
I am down to the following in /bin only (replacing cut with parameter substitution eliminated all needed things in /etc)
Code:
bash.exe
cygattr-1.dll
cygiconv-2.dll
cygintl-8.dll
cygncursesw-10.dll
cygreadline7.dll
cygwin1.dll
cygwin-console-helper.exe (mintty misbehaves without this)
find.exe (using a wildcard, directory type, recursion, and file attribute output so replacement unlikely): $( find "$dataDir" -type d -name '*.aps' -printf '%T@|%p\n' -prune | sort -nr )
ls.exe (expanding * and suppressing whitespace with OFS=$'\n'): $(ls -dr "${apsFolder[$apsIn]}""/Run"*)
mintty.exe (used to support ANSI bold, underline, etc.)
mv.exe (I think I can replace this with a > and then rm): mv "${runFolder[$runIn]}" "${apsFolder[$apsIn]}""/Run""$padded"" - ""$newName"
rename.exe (using * wildcard): rename "$runName" "$newName" "$excelFolder""/"*".csv"
rm.exe: rm "${runFolder[$runIn]}""/comm" &>/dev/null
sed.exe (already planning on replacing with ${var/Pattern/Replacement})
sort.exe: $( find "$dataDir" -type d -name '*.aps' -printf '%T@|%p\n' -prune | sort -nr )
stat.exe: dateStamp=$(stat -c '%y' "$i") (keep in mind these are windows files either on the users hard drive or a windows share)

Any low handing fruit? No need to write the code for me just point me in the right direction.

Update: looks like find is (sometimes?) needing something in /etc as well (cant be all the time or I could not have been able to test cut). Any trick to find out what other than trial and error (what I used so far)?

ilasm

ilasm(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ilasm(1)

NAME

       ilasm, ilasm2 - Mono IL assembler

SYNOPSIS

       ilasm [option] [source-files]

       ilasm2 [option] [source-files]

DESCRIPTION

       ilasm is the Mono ILAsm assembler.  You can pass one or more options to drive the compiler, and a set of source files.

       Use ilasm to generate 1.0 assemblies and use ilasm2 to assemble programs that use the 2.0 features (generics).

       The Mono ILAsm assembler accepts options starting with / or - for mosted options.

       The  Mono  ILAsm assembler generates images (.exe and .dll files) that contain CIL byte code that can be executed by any system that imple-
       mented a Common Language Infrastructure virtual machine.

OPTIONS

       /output:<file_name>
	      Specify the output file name.

       /exe   Generate an exe

       /dll   Generate a library

       /scan_only
	      Just scan the IL code and display tokens.

       /show_tokens
	      Show tokens as they are parsed.

       /show_method_def
	      Display method information when a method is defined.

       /show_method_ref
	      Display method information when a method is referenced

       /key:KEYFILE
	      Strongname (sign) the output assembly using the key pair present in the specified strong name key file (snk). A  full  key  pair	is
	      required (i.e. delay signing is done using a .publickey directive in the sources).

       /key:@CONTAINER
	      Strongname (sign) the output assembly using the key pair present in the specified container.

       --about
	      Display information about ilasm

       --version
