In installation.sgml it says

"""
Alternatively, PostgreSQL can be built using Meson. This is currently experimental.
"""

Do we want to alter this statement for PG17, considering that this is now the only way to build for Windows using MSVC?

(A joke response is that the Windows port itself is experimental, so it doesn't matter much that the build system for it is as well.)

I would still call Meson use on non-Windows platforms experimental at this time.

So maybe something like

"Alternatively, PostgreSQL can be built using Meson. This is the only option for building PostgreSQL in Windows using Visual Something[*]. For other platforms, using Meson is currently experimental."

[*] What is the correct name for this?
