Update references to some external libraries (on Windows) #10

Closed SebDieBln closed 2 years ago

This PR simplifies the building process on Windows. libxml2 and libxslt are taken from the postgres-binaries package that is required anyway. The indirect dependencies on iconv and zlib can be dropped, because the libraries in the postgres-binaries package do not depend on it.

The installer now bundles less but different DLLs due to the changed indirect dependencies.

Btw, if you are using build tools for Windows 10... Why do not use just WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and build same as on Ubuntu/Debian? Simple Xming/Xorg (x11) is enough to display any x11 GUI from WSL.

@proxy-m Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitly look into that.
