There is more than one way to create user-defined services on windows, including this one, documented by Microsoft here. Though in any case this doesn't belong to nginx-core, and we certainly don't want to distribute srvany.exe (and I actually think we can't from legal point of view). Though probably deserve link somewhere in the documentation.

You may also want to provide some details/example scripts somewhere near http://wiki.nginx.org/InitScripts, much like it's already done for may other OSes. Please don't include srvany.exe though, provide a link to official download page instead.

Hi!
I've created a nginx installer for windows using an open source alternative to srvany.
