Hi, I have spent some time reviewing the code. It applies well and PG master branch build fine with setting extraver or keep it undefined. I have observed the following output applying the patch i.e.
*Keeping extraver undefined* : C:\PG\postgresql\inst_withpatch_no_extra-version>bin\psql.exe -d postgres > psql (9.5devel) > WARNING: Console code page (437) differs from Windows code page (1252) > 8-bit characters might not work correctly.

If we use -V (--version) with pg utilities/binaries, it does not include additional provided information. Can you please guide how can I perform similar functionality via configure script (that can be used on Unix like OS/MinGW) or It is intended for Window specific requirement ?. Thanks.
