I thought Cygwin had long had sendmsg/recvmsg:
According to Microsofts documentation (thanks Thunderbird) Vista/Windows Server 2008 and the Subsystem for Unix applications is supposed to support this so we might actually have a chance at seeing Wine run on Windows soon. I have a regression test for passing file descriptors with sendmsg/recvmsg I am working on that should be ready in a few more days and will post it. I'll test with Cygwin and SFU under Windows XP. Hopefully someone with Vista and Windows Server 2003 or 2007 can test for us.
SUA for Windows 7 should be available around RC time: http://blogs.msdn.com/sfu/archive/2009/01/23/nfs-and-sua-in-windows-7.aspx
(I've been experimenting with the Windows 7 beta. I'll have to hold off on more of that until I have a spare machine with the ridiculous quantities of memory it wants to run without great pain. Stupidly fat. Pretty, though.)
Vista/Win7 is where Wine on Windows would actually be useful to users, of course - given Wine targets XP already.
