Argh. You're right of course. Here it is.

This directory contains the tools required to build PostgreSQL using
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
Note that PostgreSQL builds natively with Visual C++. You must there for
make sure that you do *NOT* have any tools from Cygwin or Mingw available
in the system PATH. Also, make sure you don't have any Cygwin/Mingw
environment variables "leaking" through.
First, edit config.pl to reflect what "configure options" you want set.
Then, to build all of PostgreSQL in debug configuration, run the simple
build
command from a Visual Studio Command Prompt (to get all environment
variables set correctly).
To build all of PostgreSQL in release configuration, run
build RELEASE
To build just a single project, for example psql, run
build psql
or
build RELEASE psql
Dependencies
------------
The following packages are used for the different config options:
pthreads - always required
Download from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32.
flex & bison - required to build from CVS
Download from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net. Note that you must not
