I was wondering why we have a separate libpq.rc for libpq and use 
win32ver.rc for all other components.  I suspect this is also a leftover 
from the now-removed client-only Windows build.  With a bit of tweaking 
we can use win32ver.rc for libpq as well and remove a bit of duplicative 
code.

I have tested this patch with MSVC and MinGW.

I've also added some comments and a documentation link to be able to 
understand this business a bit better.
