    Remove the ability to build Postgres with Visual Studio (Michael
    Paquier)

    Meson is now the only available Windows build method.


This is a category mistake. What was removed was the special code we had 
for building with VS, but not the ability to build with VS. You can 
build with VS using meson (see for example drongo on the buildfarm)


cheers

It will be improved until the final release.  The item count is 188,
