@johnstcn can we easily detect this? It'd be a better experience.

@johnstcn seems like we could also just implement this ourselves super easily instead of using a library. I think that's more helpful than including it in the docs.

To clarify, you are proposing that we detect the absence of the VC++ redist libraries if using embedded postgres on windows, and log a message?

I'm going to go ahead and merge this; will address Kyle's suggestion in a separate PR.
