There are even better ways of doing that.

Still does not change the fact of course.   What dos programs what windows programs.   Do they have *nix replacement.   Converted scripts will work on all processors if they have *nix replacements including inside some nokia phones.    Also script will most likely work back on windows threw one means or another.  cygwin, andlinux ,openlina.... List goes on.
