I just wrote a Wiki page detailing how to install Icecast as service 
using NSSM, you can
find it here http://wiki.xiph.org/Icecast_Server/Setup_Windows_Service

Well it is not that we ignore Windows, but most servers are running 
Linux and we have to choose

developers, a Windows Service was not one of the top priorities.
But we will investigate re-adding this functionality.
