Taken from chrony's FAQ:

"7.1. Does chrony support Windows?

No. The chronyc program (the command-line client used for configuring 
chronyd while it is running) has been successfully built and run under 
Cygwin in the past. chronyd is not portable, because part of it is very 
system-dependent. It needs adapting to work with Windows' equivalent of 
the adjtimex() call, and it needs to be made to work as a service."

Running as a service is not a problem in Cygwin, there's a helper 
program for that.

I'm not sure about the support for adjtimex()... Its not in any header 
so I guess its not supported.  There is an adjtime() in sys/time.h, but 
that is not the same.
