I was just checking this, I read the gendef script, and saw it would
short-circut if postgres.def existed, so I deleted the file and ran a
build in visual studio again and it printed all kinds of dumpbin output
into the visual stuio output window, which I remember it did before.
Since you have seen this before, what was the fix (or was there one)?
