MSYS2 already has native Sed, Grep and Diff. Findutils would be doable.
Dunno about Coreutils.
Nowadays I just install some new fancy searcher (such as ag, the Silver
Searcher) and that covers the explicit Findutils+Grep case. IIRC there
are places on Emacs that use Findutils+Grep under the hood (Dired?
Ediff?). AFAIR never missed Sed or Coreutils on Emacs on Windows.
