The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 12738
Logged by: Chris
Email address: krzbia(at)interia(dot)pl
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.0
Operating system: Windows XP
Description:

Introduction of VS2013 into the build resulted in platform (in
MSBuildProject.pm) to be set to v110. To be still compatible with Windows
XPit should have been set to v110_xp (!).

Worse then that, this change was ported to 9.3 and 9.2 release trees which
effectively will kill 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 on Windows XP!!

Everywhere in the documentation it is stated that even w2000 is supported
and there was nowhere a statement that XP will be dropped. Specifically, not
tha all of the sudden 9.3 and 9.2 releases would drop XP.

Please correct this.
