I have compiled native (no Cygwin, no other dlls) Windows versions of md5sum.exe, sha1sum.exe, sha224sum.exe, sha256sum.exe, sha384sum.exe and sha512sum.exe. Download binaries here, and source (as required by GPL) here. If you want to compile them yourself (with MinGW and MSYS), just delete error-causing lines from configure and makefiles until you succeed.
Update 2008/05/26: I've compiled new binaries from coreutils-6.11, download them here.
Gosh, thanks. Windows is so unusable. I try to avoid it, but sometimes I get stuck with it and people like you bail me out. Can you imagine an operating system which doesn't ship with command line checksumming software? How broque.
I don't think your port works corrctly under all circumstances, I tried it on my download of the Fedora Core 9 DVD, and it said the check failed, whereas this port: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/sha1sum.exe produced the correct hash (although it took a long time and loads of memory!)
Thank you for the info. I will check this. Maybe it's related to the size of the image, which is larger than 2 GB. Anyway, it's not a port, I just simply compiled the software from the original sources.

It calculates the correct checksum for me on Windows XP SP3:
F:\>gpgsha1\sha1sum Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
