I looked into this once, so I looked through my notes and found this at 
the time:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17510688/single-script-to-run-in-both-windows-batch-and-linux-bash

It is still there, just checked. I didn't get much further than that at 
the time, there was a change of direction.

I would go with David's suggestion, it sounds easier.
