As the current commitfest is getting more and more active recently i've
rechecked my patch and updated it for code drift.
No real changes.
See http://www.piening.info/VS2010v7.patch

The huge increase in size is due to running perltidy which also tidied
up the new builddoc.pl which seems to have gotten in untidied.

In a working Windows build environment all you have to do to test this
patch is
1. Download Windows SDK v7.1 from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=6b6c21d2-2006-4afa-9702-529fa782d63b
and install it
2. Apply the patch
3. Add your usual buildenv.pl and config.pl
4. Build Postgres using the Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt
5. Check if everything is working fine (build vcregress, ...)

This one still stands as it is. Probably not a big issue for anyone of you.
