Windows isn't really my preferred OS either; I'm tasked with maintaining
an embedded Linux cross compiling environment for Windows as part of my
day job, so I end up dealing with it more that I would perhaps like :)
Anyway, the good news is that you don't really need to make any changes
to the bzip2-tests repo; it works fine on Windows as is. As previously
stated, I compiled bzip2 using MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/). There is
also a related project called msys (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS) that
will give you a traditional bash shell (as well as most other standard
utilities) in Windows. The run-tests.sh script works just fine there and
all the tests pass, using a build of bzip2 from b07b105 ("Accept as many
selectors as the file format allows.").
