Hmm, doesn't the CF bot already validate the MSVC build?
Splitting in two seems all right, but I think one commit that introduces
dead code is not great. It may make more sense to have one commit for
common/archive.c, and a second commit that does fe_archive plus
pg_rewind changes ... If that doesn't work for whatever reason, then
doing a single commit may be preferrable.
