Today someone in a Perl related Usenet group stated that he had no Gzip for Windows, and hence was trying to write a solution in Perl. So I replied to his message with a link to the GnuWin32 section on SourceForge which has a lot of ports of tools with a GNU or similar open source license ready for download and use under Microsoft Windows.
Read the rest of Gzip and more GNU power to Windows.
Hi Donovan,
I have used unxutils in the past, but it looks like it hasn't been updated for quite some time (or at least the web page states Last change on 30-04-04)
I have the feeling that GnuWin32 is better maintained and has more ports available, but that's just a feeling.

Check out unxutils - GNU utilities for Win32
All of these utilities work great without having to install the full cygwin or mingw.
