Any idea where to get this?  Is it a shell?  I don't think the cygwin had the problem either, but I wasn't really interested in running bash on win32.  I had thought the 128 char command line was a limitation of the DOS box, and couldn't be overcome.  I know that most DOS programs that hit this wall overcame it by passing parameters in a file instead of on the command line.  Does make support this ability?
