I am using Mingw and MSYS to produce the actual NUT Windows binaries. You will have to install both on your system and add the libusb-win32 developpement file. Then you can get branches/windows_port on NUT's SVN and add Arnaud's patch. This might not be straight forward and you might prefer to wait for the next release of my Windows binaries but be aware that they are currently post-poned for several (5 or 6 currently) weeks due to other projects from my side.

[Nut-upsuser] Powercom BNT-800AP
While fundamentally working, I'm having a few issues with the driver...
The default voltage quads (for every model) are way off... Showing
~95v when it should be ~117V. I've changed the 4th/final coefficient
to +5.0, but haven't tested extensively (with fluctuating voltages).
The input/output voltage appears to be swapped _most of the time_.
When doing a battery test, or when unplugged, the input stays steady,
and the _output_ voltage reports a drop to ~15V. OTOH, when the UPS
is shutdown, the ordering appears correct, as the input stays steady,
and the output shows ~5V.
For the above, the Powercom upsmon software appears to special-case
those ~5/15V results, and on the next update, report it as 0V. I have
no idea how to even special-case the screwy input/output-swapping
behavior...
