Well, that doesn't work like this. As I already wrote, there's no
SYSCONFDIR, and if there was it can't have any sensible value for win32
clients. SYSCONFDIR as of pg_config.h.win32 version 1.13 was just a
dummy to make the compiler happy. Now there's no SYSCONFDIR around, and
no pg_config_paths.h either...

The attached patch will create a dummy pg_config_paths.h. Additionally,
ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY is supported by the makefile (but not by the
sources, which need some rework)
