Hi Amit,

I noticed that Konstantin Knizhnik's CF entry 2386 calls
table_scan_XXX() functions from an extension, namely
contrib/auto_explain, and started failing to build on Windows after
commit 7259736a.  This seems to be due to the new global variables
CheckXidAlive and bsysscan, which probably need PGDLLIMPORT if they
are accessed from inline functions that are part of the API that we
expect extensions to be allowed to call.
