After a while of writing special purpose tool-install-scripts that would work on either wine or windows, I realized that I really just wanted winetricks to be my tool install script, and that it should run on windows. i.e. if you want firefox on windows or wine, you should be able to do "sh winetricks -q firefox" and have it appear. Likewise, if you happen to need the Windows 7 SDK for something you're building, you should be able to say "sh winetricks -q psdkwin7" and have it appear, no questions asked. (Assuming on windows that you have cygwin installed, of course.)
I would try to make it supported by default under msys. Cygwin has always had a bloated POS installer and we should not need any other unixism other than bashness. Actually, come to think of it, the best supported platform for it would be msys-git.
