Need advice - Winbash or Cygwin?

HI Folks -

With many clients (most) going to Linux environments, I'd like to begint o develop one set of portable scripts I can use across all clients. Therefore, for my clients still on Windows, I'll need to use a tool to be able to do this.

What would you recommend to run shell on Windows? I'm seeing a lot of chatter on Winbash or Cygwin. Do both some with all shell binaries?

Thanks!

NAME
ggz - GGZ Gaming Zone core client selector SYNOPSIS
ggz [URI] DESCRIPTION
The GGZ Gaming Zone allows people to play many games online using so-called GGZ core clients which are chat clients with integrated game launchers. The ggz tool can be used as a shortcut to start the most suitable core client without worrying which ones are installed. The tool is useful for launching GGZ core clients from other software, but it will certainly also be used by experienced users who just want to connect to GGZ quickly. Currently, the KDE client kggz, the Gtk+ client ggz-gtk and the Java client ggz-java are supported for graphical environments. In text- console mode, ggz-txt can serve as a fallback. OPTIONS
Since the available program options varies between the core clients, only the common URL parameter is supported. This is a connection iden- tifier of the form ggz://user@host:port and will in most cases be abbreviated to user@host. AUTHORS
