I did not try myself TLS/SSL on windows.
You have to know that it uses OpenSSL for that feature. So that if  
OpenSSL works correctly on Windows, TLS/SSL will be alright.
I would just say give a try. Some people encountered problems while  
sending data (let's say over 16 Kbytes).
Though, for SSL, you can see in data-types, mailstream.c  
mailstream_ssl.c mailstream_socket.c if you want to implement a ssl  
version that would use native API for Windows.

in libetpan/tests, you can find compose-msg.c to build MIME messages  
and smtpsend.c to send messages.
etpanX is also a place where you can find some amount of example of use.
checkout svn://dinh.dyndns.org/etpanX/trunk (using subversion)

smtp part should depends only on src/data-types, you have to check.  
And yes, of course, you can link statically on the parts you need.
though, if you want to send complex MIME message, you will need the  
libetpan/mime/ and libetpan/imf/ (RFC 822) parts.
