Someone who uses their "corporate standard software distribution tool"
to distribute an upgrade of postgresql will not update these files when
they think they install a new version.
It's better to leave it out completely than to set the version to the
same when the file changes. And only set version on the stuff where we
actually increment the version number.
Perhaps a compromise would be to set versioninfo on libpq.dll (which we
alerady do), and on all the EXEs, and ignore the rest of the DLLs. It's
not ideal, but it's a great deal better than nothing at all.
