maby this is something for you:

http://fwtools.maptools.org/

Works out of the box for windows and Linux (I use the linux version).
It doesn't contain shp2pgsql but does contain ogr2ogr to load quite a

including shape files, vmap0, vmap1 etc etc..... or to convert from one 
format to a other format...
