So the latest version of bin/lein (which will become 2.1.0) actually
already uses Powershell as an HTTP client to get around the requirement
for curl/wget. The remaining problem is the bin/lein.bat file doesn't
get the same level of attention as bin/lein proper. So if you somehow
get GNU tools on Windows it's more work up-front, but you end up running
code that has been better debugged and is more up-to-date.

(Not saying one approach is necessarily inherently better since I don't
understand the cultural background behind the choice, but that's how it
is currently.)
