I just saw this useful summary on the Gow page:

Other Similar Projects
  • GNU utilities for Win32: Quite literally the grand-daddy of Unix utilities projects. It hasn't been updated since 2003. Gow originally borrowed from these utilities but has updated many of them and added all of the installer goodness that you've come to expect.
  • GnuWin: An excellent project with lots of utilities. GnuWin might be for you if you just want one or two utilities rather than the Cygwin-"light" suite that Gow provides.
  • MSYS: From MinGW, well known as the basis for msysgit (in fact, if you have msysgit on your machine, then you already have these utilities).
  • UWIN: Software package created by David Korn at AT&T which allows programs written for the operating system Unix be built and run on Microsoft Windows
