No, you need to get netcat for NT.
The unix C source isn't cygwin compatible, and there's really no need
since there is a command-line-friendly native Win32 netcat.
(OK, a quick double-check shows some experimental Makefile sections for
DOS, but again, why mess with this when there's already a native binary
available?)
