I am the project lead for nfs-ganesha. I would be happy to provide you 
with all  information that would help you.

There is currently no port of nfs-ganesha to windows. I am working on a 
linux environment and so does the other folks contributing to the 
project. Anyway, I do not think that a port to windows would be 
something impossible. Matt Benjamin (from the LinuxBox company) 
succeeded once in compiling nfs-ganesha on cygwin on a windows platform. 
It seems to me there are tools at Microsoft's to ease port of unix 
applications to Windows, but I am no expert of this. Anyway, the 
linux-nfs is probably not the right place for discussing of this, I 
suggest that we continue talking of this on the nfs-ganesha's 
development list whose address is nfs-ganesha-devel@lists.sourceforge.net .

    Regards
