I haven't been able to get used to Powershell either, but there are 3 versions 
of bash ported to Windows available from cygwin, mingw (with msys) and djgpp 
(works on DOS 32 bit systems as well as Windows).  A stand-alone version of 
bash is downloadable from here:
http://www.steve.org.uk/Software/bash/

I've also been looking into server side JavaScript extensions and am very 
impressed with it.  I especially enjoyed the articles at Garrett's web site on 
JScript.  There are also some projects to standardize JavaScript extensions 
like this one:
http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/CommonJS
I've been experimenting with the V8CGI implementation which has a BSD license 
and so far, I really like it.

One other thing I thought I'd mention in case there's interest, there's a 
project called sta.li at www.suckless.org.  If you check the mailing list, 
they've been talking about writing a tool that would replace some of the gnu 
auto tools chain and allow for static linking instead of dynamic linking.  I 
remember reading at the CoApp site that there was a project in the works to try 
to replace some the gnu auto tools change with project files.  Don't know if 
any work from one project is useable for the other, but I thought the 
developers involved might want to know about it in case they want to 
investigate further and see if there's any code sharing that could be done 
between the projects.

Sincerley,

What about JScript and VBScript (through cscript.exe)?

Heh-heh... you clearly don't know me well enough.

I am the biggest JScript junkie on the planet. You can see some of my madness 
in the coapp-solution/scripts folder.

Regardless, JScript and VBScript ain't *batch* scripting languages (that 
perfectly support calling other EXEs and manipulating the results) And 
after an extremely large amount of work, I've come to the conclusion that ya 
can't make it do it either.
