Yup. It didn't really work right and there was insufficient interest
in maintaining it.

Run the normal build process using MSVC, and then just take libpq.lib
from the results. On any modern machine that's just going to take
a few minutes, so it's not worth maintaining a separate libpq-only
build path.
