Subject: KNNPKNP endgame

is this position winnable for white ?

If black play NxP, the tablebase say that black is lost and if white can force
the knight to go away from his pawn and take the black pawn and black can't
attack the white pawn next move: white wins too, I don't know how many moves
this manoeuvre requierd and if it's possible ...

[D]8/8/6N1/3n1p2/1k3P2/3K4/4N3/8 b - - 0 1

I've analysed with crafty during 2 hours on a celeron450 with KNNKP tablebase ,
and found no progress :/

If someone can analyse with bigger CPU and more tablebase during a night it
would be great !

Thanks !
