An .sh to c converter would be the best solution. I will be looking 
into how hard this would be to do.

NACK.

A stupid .sh to c converter will almost certainly result in slow and
hard-to-debug code.

I had presumed you do not have to really look at the code if the 
tanslator is sound.

IMHO no automatic shell->C converter can be sound. Besides, you are 
missing that we are dealing with the opposite of POSIX here. After all, 
your target platform is Windows, right? That makes a sensible sh->C 
converter all the more difficult.

If you had bothered to check, you'd know that there are ongoing 
efforts to do the ports properly.

This is good. So the shell code is being migrated to C ?

Could you give me a link or refernce please ?

You can see a lot in Git's history itself:

	git log --grep="[Mmake].*builtin" --no-merges builtin.h

The Google Summer of Code projects' home page is

The ongoing progress for this particular project can be seen here:
