Now I Got GnuTLS for Windows, put it on PATH and it works like a charm.
Just now I'm writing this reply from Gnus connected to my IMAP server
via SSL :-))

Thanks a lot for pointing me to that and sorry for my stupidness. I
wasn't aware that additional software is necessary because it hasn't
been necessary for Emacs 23.3 (precompiled for Windows). More even I
wasn't aware that GnuTLS is available for Windows.

Now everything is fine. Problem solved. Thanks a lot.
