As I mentioned, we don't need the marks in our build environment at all.
So, the PGDLLEXPORT marks are for users who refers our tutorials and
contrib modules as sample codes.
Personally, I learned many idioms from contrib modules, but didn't
notice the tutorial directory. I think codes in contribs are often
copied-and-pasted. So, if we add PGDLLEXPORTs to some places,
I'd like to add them to contribs, too.
