I have developed the attached patch which accomplishes this. I was also
able to move the write_msg function into dumputils.c (which is linked to
pg_dumpall), which allows pg_dumpall to use the new dumpmem.c functions,
and I removed its private ones.
FYI, I found write_msg() was a useless valist trampoline so I removed
the trampoline code and renamed _write_msg() to write_msg(). I also
modified the MSVC code.
