I need to make extra effort to get to a windows machine, but if existing windows binaries work and all you need is a modification is the two shell scripts to downlad ConTeXt and to set the paths, it might be easy to add support. However, I have no clue how to even download UWIN. Now that Jacob mentioned it: I didn't think of the fact that one might not necessarily need special cygwin binaries to run ConTeXt in cygwin. If a simple modification in first-setup.sh and setuptex can do the job, feel free to suggest the change (platform detection). If existing binaries don't work, you can write a tutorial (an article for ConTeXt journal) about how to compile luatex and xetex with nmake.
