Like I said most work is already in the libraries themselves, it is now a matter of glueing the parts together.
Ever watched Top Gear? "How hard can it be" is just a prefix to failing gloriously. You underestimate the complexity of these seemingly simple utilities.
If used correctly, c++ can much easier to read just because of the automatic management. At least it makes porting them to other (non unix, non cygwin) platforms more easily.
I wonder which platform there is that was neither Windows nor Unix. All those things aside, Artyom (see his mail) has a point: there are already ports of the GNU tools for Windows. Rewriting code just for the sake of basing it on Boost isn't enough of a justification IMHO.
