I could try to have a shot with my Win7 box, though I am not sure what
are the build options that we should invoke. I am sure that we should
have a build with OpenSSL and libpq (which is now mandatory), and that
nmake is not the way to go. Hence we should generate the msis with
.\BuildAll and have all the Release builds? And we should provide
AMD64Release, AMD64ANSIRelease, Release and MultibyteRelease as a set,
no?
