Oh, and http://ss64.com/nt/syntax.html seems like a nice summary of the language.
This suggestion will most likely get null'd as it has before but since there are still patches accepted by ReactOS developers from time to time, it would seem to make more since to me to just prepackage a winelib build or binary build of their cmd.exe somewhere. It's mostly feature complete and is derived from FreeDOS command.com and a large chunk of the development work on it was done by former CodeWeaver Eric Kohl.
We (reactos developers) toyed with the idea of spawning some of the subprojects off in the past, so perhaps we could create a new sourceforge project, something along the lines of FreeCMD and move the project and revision history there. Linking to it as a separate project package is not that much of a stretch from how we do things with Gecko.
Having a comprehensive test suite written for the scripting language makes sense but the duplicated effort to re-implement the whole app never has given there are already shared tools in the winehq tree such as regedit and taskmgr unless you are ready to propose that they be ripped out.
