I use the Cygwin version (albeit not on XP) - that works pretty good. 
You do get a complete Unix like environment with it which might what you 
want - or not.

Generally I would recommend to move away from XP rather sooner than 
later.  Depending on what you want to do a VM with Linux might work, too.

Kind regards
