Why not?  The shipped tarball would contain exactly the same
pg_config.h.win32 it does today; the only difference is that the
version info would've been inserted automatically instead of manually.
(The start of this discussion was my observation that pg_config.h.win32
contains multiple copies of the version info, and sooner or later
somebody would miss one while stamping a release.)

That's great if you're using msvc, but what about borland?
