At the risk of getting dangerously off-topic, Windows's built-in POSIX
layer isn't enough to get even the most simple POSIX applications
running, you always need to add something.

Interix/Services For Unix is one, and the other is Cygwin.  MinGW is a
special case, but is essentially the same as Cygwin.
