Unfortunately I don't prefer to pack all into one command(tool).
Though I chose instead of nmake, I don't love it so much.

Though I don't have much time to confirm the patch, I noticed
the followings for the time being.

1. The default target seems to build installers. Do we have to
build installers so often? I have never built installers for
a long time for purposes other than testing themselves.

2. ISTM there's no target which builds x86 and x64 drivers.
Is it right?

3. Why does the patch remove installer/psqlodbc-setup together?

I left version.h for nmake build. There's no need to maintain it when
switching to MSBuild is done.
