I think this just needs a new object added to the libpgport list in
Mkvcbuild.pm at line 46-50. I can do this monday, no earlier :-( (I
could do it now, but I'm mobile so I can't test it, so I won't do it) If
someone else who can actually test it wants to put that in, please do.

My fault, sorry about that.  But I'm getting less and less satisfied
with the way that the MSVC build system is forcing us to duplicate all
the knowledge in the Makefiles.

One thing I did in the commit that broke this was to move the list of
"fixed" (platform-independent) members of libpgport out of
Makefile.global.in and into src/port/Makefile.  Is it possible to parse
that to get the list of fixed members, instead of duplicating the list
in Mkvcbuild.pm?  Of course Mkvcbuild.pm would still need a list of
Windows-specific members, but that should be a lot shorter and more
stable.

I whined about this quite some time ago ...

I've just been toying around in my head with possibly installing gmake 
on a windows build box and making a target where it outputs the list of 
source files for building a project from. Maybe that would help.
