The portable solution would be to use the functions in time.h.  Cygwin should work if you just want to move a simple UNIX program to Windows, since it works with a lot of complex utilities that need to know the time of day.  Once you get Cygwin working it should feel familiar to a linux user.

I posted a more complete recommendation so I should get more points :)  Requiring a Windows user to install Cygwin in order to use your software is a pretty bad answer, so I recommended using time.h which is standard.
