So, I have finally been able to set up my environment correctly, and I
am at a stage where I can compile Postgres with VS 2015 thanks to the
patch attached that extends src/tools/msvc to do so. Unsurprisingly,
the first failures detected are related to locales :)
I still need to dig into that in more details. For the time being the
patch attached is useful IMO to plug in VS 2015 with the existing
infrastructure. So if anybody has a Windows environment, feel free to
play with it and dig into those problems. I'll update this thread once
I have a more advanced status.
