Re: VS2022: Support Visual Studio 2022 on Windows

Hello Michael,

thanks for your hard work and quick response!
It is very convenient to only use VS2022 for Windows from now on...

Sorry for the copysoft problem from the first version.

I think it is almost impossible to overestimate the value of such support from experienced hackers to others starting their journey right now...

I hope I can motivate you (and other experienced hackers) to give me some more support on my real project arriving anytime soon. It addresses hex_encoding (and more) targetting mostly pg_dump, but requires also some deeper knowledge of general infrastructure and building (also on Windows). Stay tuned!

PS: Does anybody have good relations to EDB suggesting them to target VS2022 as the build environment for the upcoming PG15 release?
