WinNUT is monitor client only so it don't talk to USPes directly. Will try to
search google for cygwin port of libusb and NUT to Windows. Looks like windows
support it is not the frequently requested thing :-D.

I hadn't had any experience with utilizing USB devices under Windows but it
seems to me that in case there are any working windows ports of libusb, its API
should be almost the same as it is for any other operating system. There's no
point in porting common library to another platform and changing API's
drastically along the way. It then would be easier to create a totally new
library with a different API that integrates best into target operating system.
