I see this didn't fix the problem :-(

Perl is not my native tongue, but after a little study and some
testing on a windows machine, the attached seems to fix the problem.

I've never much looked at these script before, but it seems that the
parsing of the Makefile just assumes that psqlscan.c is in the same
path as the rest of the stuff. The patch just uses some already
defined file replace functions to switch the wrong filename out for
the correct one before the Visual Studios project file is created.
