If we were running the actual configure script, presumably it would
figure out that "inline" doesn't work on this compiler. I suppose the
problem here is that there's 0 chance of that in a pure-Microsoft
build environment. Should we just dumb pg_config.h.win32 down to the
lowest common denominator, and make it #define inline as empty for any
Windows build environment that can't run configure? I don't think we
care that much about inline-ing on the client side anyway.
