I have committed this in chunks over the last couple of days.  It's done 
now.

I didn't commit the initdb auto-detection patch.  As I mentioned 
earlier, that one is probably not necessary.

Btw., the default AppVeyor images are too old to support this.  You need 
something like 'image: Visual Studio 2019' to get a new enough image. 
So that's one way to test what happens when it's not supported at run 
time.  (I did test it and you get a sensible error message.)
