No. Makefile.win is only designed to be used in the src dir. If so
it is used (see MakePkg) but a src/Makefile never is.
So they are quite distinct, in my understanding.
You probably want to include MkRules in your own Makefile.win.

Read readme.packages or CHANGES, for example
The reason is that many pacakges used to come with quite inappropriate
Makefiles for Windows (and often inappropriate for Windows too).
