The GNU tools in gnu-win32 are great, but I wouldn't call them mature.
There is a reason why all the releases of gnu-win32 so far have been
called "beta" releases, and that reason is that they are still quite
buggy. For example, in the latest release, beta-14, some very basic
things such as `gcc hello.c' don't work on Windows 95 (or at least they
don't work for me).
