I am glad to see that there are finally efforts to add Windows support. Although this patch may make 
nano compile for *-w64-mingw32 targets, it is not complete yet [1]:

1) The MSVCRT `open()` function opens files in text by default and may
   result in `"\r\r\n"` if nano is told to save text in DOS format. The
   `_O_BINARY` flag has to specified.

2) The Gnulib `glob()` function does not recognize backslashes as path
   separators. It is suggested that users use forwardslashes in config
   files, but replacing them inside nano should be preferred.

3) The path for the active console device is `"CONIN$"` instead of
   `"/dev/tty"`.

4) Bracketed-paste mode should be disabled for native Windows.


But after all, thanks for your work!
