No ENABLE_GSS in generated Visual Studio project files
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/install-windows.html
Description:
I tried to build using Visual Studio 2019.
Although I have enable the kerberos support in the configuration file,
the generated Visual Studio project files do not define "ENABLE_GSS".
Running the binaries (as a service) resulted in the following error in the
log file:

I may be missing something, of course, but the MSVC build code of HEAD
does the following in Solution.pm:
ENABLE_GSS => $self->{options}->{gss} ? 1 : undef,
So perhaps you really forgot to specify a path in config.pl?
