Command hg clone https://secure.wand.net.nz/mercurial/nsc reports this error:
abort: case-folding collision between linux-2.6.18/include/linux/netfilter/xt_mark.h and linux-2.6.18/include/linux/netfilter/xt_MARK.h

Quoting from an email I wrote earlier:

"NSC does not work in Cygwin. I'll be very surprised if it ever does. This is the most straight forward problem to solve in Cygwin, there are a lot more waiting to bite you if you were to try to really get NSC going."

It would be very very difficult to get NSC working in Cygwin.

"If you really need to run NSC on a Windows box, I would suggest using a virtual machine running Linux."

Virtual machines are commonly available and easy these days. It seems like a much better idea to actually run Linux or a BSD than to try and get NSC working on Windows.
