Pavel offered privately to test the change if I could supply a build.
I tried asking AppVeyor to build the current master branch as of a few
minutes ago and consider the "Release" directory to be an "artifact",
and amazingly it spat out a .zip file available for 6 months:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/macdice/postgres/builds/20341645/artifacts

I'm not sure how easy this will be to work with if you're used to one
of those installers.  Hopefully all the libraries needed are present
and you can just unzip it and run "initdb.exe -D pgdata",
"postgres.exe -D pgdata" -- but I have no personal experience of
PostgreSQL on Windows so I'm guessing here.  Pavel, if you have time
to try testing the bug fix that was committed, that'd be great.  If it
goes well, perhaps we could consider making bleeding edge builds
available all the time.
