Doesn't building from CVS require additional tools, like Autoconf and Automake?
Autoconf is needed. So if you don't have autoconf on the windows box, what you'd need to do is check it out to a unix/gnu/linux-system, run the .bootstrap scripts (as per the instructions), and do a ./configure && make && make dist in the nettle directory. And then copy the resulting .tar.gz to the windows machine. So it's not very convenient.
When the lsh xenofarm is up and running, you can also cheat and get a recent lsh snapshot from http://www.lysator.liu.se/xenofarm/lsh/builds/latest. At the moment, the most recent snapshot there is from October, but if things goes well a current one should be prepared within an hour or so.
I'm not sure when I'll get around to making a new release.
AC_PROG_LN_S
is probably all you need.

Yes, except that I would use _setmode, as that will also work for Windows compilers other than MinGW.
Noted. I'll see what I can do.
