You can probably ship just bash.exe from Cygwin. Bash.exe is a
perfect interpreter for your language, so seems best to try and find a
way to use it.


Alternatively, you should be able to tweak the bash source code a
little and link it directly into your main program. It may be more
difficult licensing issues with this approach, however.
