busybox.exe with all working features enabled is ~600MB (bash:
~700MB). Removing the daemons, other rarely used commands and some
features could reduce it to 300-350MB. I did't test LTO build which
could further reduce size.

"KB", not "MB", sorry :-)


This is really cool, looking forward to seeing busybox in cygwin.

Mostly unrelated to cygwin but you may find it interesting,
note that there is a win32 port of busybox using mingw
(currently only 32 bit builds work correctly) available here
https://github.com/rmyorston/busybox-w32.
