It's not an installer bug - pgxs doesn't make sense to the VC++
PostgreSLQ build because we don't use (or configure) any of the build
system on which it relies.

I wonder if we can either build whatever is needed to make pgxs work
(I'm guessing Makefile.global and more) when we run the perl scripts
that generate the project files, or come up with a VC++ alternative to
pgxs.
