The Windows port of NUT is not included in the trunk yet. So it is not
available in the stable source released.
You should try to get the Windows_port branch from the SVN:

svn co svn://anonscm.debian.org/nut/branches/windows_port

Compiling NUT on Windows is not an easy task. Let me know the issue you
may have during the process.

Fred
