Sigh ... stop the presses.

In 9.3, narwhal is *still* showing a PGDLLIMPORT-type failure that no
other Windows critter is unhappy about:

dlltool --export-all --output-def worker_spi.def worker_spi.o
dllwrap -o worker_spi.dll --def worker_spi.def worker_spi.o -L../../src/port -L../../src/common
-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition-L/mingw/lib  -Wl,--as-needed   -L../../src/backend -lpostgres
 
Info: resolving _MyBgworkerEntry by linking to __imp__MyBgworkerEntry (auto-import)
fu000001.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `libpostgres_a_iname'
fu000002.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `libpostgres_a_iname'
nmth000000.o(.idata$4+0x0): undefined reference to `_nm__MyBgworkerEntry'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So we are back to square one AFAICS: we still have no idea why narwhal
is pickier than everything else.  (BTW, to save people the trouble of
looking: MyBgworkerEntry is marked PGDLLIMPORT in HEAD but not 9.3.)

Also, in HEAD narwhal is building things OK, but then seems to be
dumping core in the dblink regression test, leaving one with not a very
warm feeling about whether the contrib executables it's building are
any good.
