nmake.exe, a Microsoft Windows port of make, used to be available for download at the Microsoft knowledge base servers. They've since taken the article down, and I don't know where I can reliably get a standalone version of nmake.exe. I would use a copy from one of the Microsoft Visual Studio development platforms, but I worry that I'll be forgetting to include some spare DLL file.

Glenn Fowler's nmake is unrelated to the Microsoft program of the same name. Its input is similar to Make, but not compatible.
The Microsoft Program Maintenance Utility (NMAKE. EXE) is a command-line tool included with Visual Studio. It builds projects based on commands that are contained in a description file, usually called a makefile. NMAKE must run in a Developer Command Prompt window.
I am pretty sure you can't. It's included with Visual Studio these days. You'll find it in the vc/bin subdirectory. Its only non-standard dependency is the DLL version of the CRT, like msvcrt90.dll for the nmake.exe version included with Visual Studio 2008.
