[Enhancement] Powershell and Babun (cygwin + zsh)

[alazare619]

Any chance to add powershell enviorment and Cygwin + zsh aka babun out of hte box see..http://babun.github.io/ for a idea of the babun enviorment

[DanielGGordon]

I personally have Babun configured as one of my tasks, and it works fairly well. However I might advise against bundling it with Cmder. Babun is still fairly large. Right now the zipped download is 272MB. That's too much to be adding to Cmder's download.

Although we could consider an alternative download that would include Babun, but I'm not sure that's what we want.

Babun comes with waaay too much stuff that we already use and include

[alazare619]

stanzilla and DanielGGordon I completely agree my idea is more just Cygwin / ZSH we dont need all of the extra dodads but just a basic cygwin enviorment and zsh for making it pretty a basic cygwin and zsh install is about 20 megs.

Well we recently added bash/mintty, does that help?

The recently added bash/mintty is based on msys2 not cygwin. It is better
that the old stuff but it's not not Babun/cygwin IMHO. :-)

Babun/Cygwin is much not more functional and very possibly overkill for the
average cmder user. It is so easy to add both if these to cmder if the
user is a power user and a fringe use case so I see no reason to add it out
or the box, also just my opinion.

I have a pull request out there,
#740, that is just a simple script
you can add to your externally installed *nix setup to incorporate cmders
portable profile configs into it. It is currently marked do not merge at my request, not
sure why it is still marked that way though.

Note in addition to adding this to your external external *nix
/etc/profile.d you need to add a Cmder Task to actually launch the external
session

Babun is too large to be included unfortunately, cmder is already over 100MB with just git-for-windows.

There is a wiki topic on adding cygwin, I assume it's fairly similar to add Babun.
