Two choices.  First, add a DLLEXPORT definition.  Second, provide a 
prebuilt .def file.

Second choice is less invasive, so that's the way I went.  I generated 
it using gendef.pl provided by postgresql (see src\tools\msvc) and then 
if I remember correctly hand-edited it a bit to remove stuff that 
shouldn't be exported.

Auto-generating it would be nice - but how?  Force users to have Active 
Perl installed and reuse what postgresql provides.  Write some batch 
file?  Just seemed easier to manually create it for now...
