You do not have to use Cygwin.

I've put a zip file ( w32-grep.zip ) that contains a win32-native build 
grep (don't recall where I got it), stuff this into some dir that is in 
your global PATH ( like C:\WINNT\System32 for example ) and then Emacs M-x 
grep should pretty much work.

I've got some additional tweaks to my environment in my personal .emacs 
that lets me hot-switch via right-clicking on the grep output text, that 
doesn't seem to work w/o my additional stuff, but I do not recall WHAT it 
is that does this.

( I think the mouse stuff is happening because of twiddling I do to the 2- 
or 3- button mouse config, 'cause in my config the right-mouse click on the 
grep output invokes compile-mouse-goto-error which is pretty much what we 
want, and running "emacs -q" I don't get this function. Have to look at my 
mappings. )

Oh, for reference, if you're inclined to look, I keep a zip file with my 
.emacs stuff here:

the grep prog zip file is here:
