On the topic of Powershell on Linux I think the story there could be different, however Powershell violates the core philosophy of Linux so hard (mit vs. GPL, pipe-and-filter vs loaded DLLs, ...) that Powershell will never be something integral and natural fitting there.

In that regard, PowerShell is more like a scripting language than it is like a traditional Unix shell. The more "Unix-like" approach would be to write thin command-line wrappers around the libraries you want to use. If I'm not mistaken, this is how projects like LAME and FFmpeg are implemented.
