Please have a look at <https://github.com/lhmouse/nano-win>.

It is not possible to build nano without modifying its source. The
README has described what have been added and what have been removed well.

The _vanilla_ branch synchronizes with the _master_ branch here, the
_patches_ branch is what I use on Linux, and the _master_ branch can be
built on mingw-w64.

I don't have a Windows machine at hand so _master_ has been left behind
_vanilla_ a little. I will update it when I have access.
