NtWin32.mak and Win32.mak ship with the Windows SDK. Install from here and then find the files in "\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include". Copy them to all the subdirectories you wish to build.

You will need to build (ie. call namke -f *.mak" in each subdir) from a console after calling

CALL "%VS140COMNTOOLS%..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x64

No you are not crazy if you are wondering why this popular library has an arcane build process on Windows rather than just using CMake.
