OK, good logical reason to install dynloader.h on Windows. Also, I am
very glad you are working on PL/Java. :-)
What do we need to do to close this item? What versions of Windows
installers are missing dynloader.h? Mingw? MSVC? EDB's? OpenSCG?
Postgres Pro (Russian)?
Is this a change we need to make on the server end and then all the
installers will automatically install the file? It is present in all
Unix-like installs?
