Thanks. This looks pretty much right, except for two things that I
have taken the freedom to fix as of the v3 attached.

%define needs to include HAVE_LIBZSTD, HAVE_ZSTD_H and USE_ZSTD, so
this version fails the sanity check between pg_config.h.in and the
MSVC scripts checking that all flags exist.

A similar refresh is needed in vcregress.pl.

The upstream code is also using this library name, so that should be
fine.
