pretty sure you need to run the top level config script to generate all
the right stuff, then you probably can have MSVC run the makefile in the
libpq directory. I find it easier to just build the whole server, then
just use the libpq.dll rather than trying to build pieces seperately, as
it really doesn't take very long. i believe there are notes on
building with MSVC on Windows,
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/install-windows-full.html
... I see there are instructions for building libpq only,
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/install-windows-libpq.html
but I believe you still need most of the prerequisites as outlined in
17.1.1 ... 17.1.3 discusses a mkvcbuild.pl which makes a pgsql.sln
project(?) for Visual Studio
