Yes, more or less. The reasoning behind at least the PostmasterPID bit is that:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAB7nPqS_=14KRCDcH6NyRsW8c58J1cwXv6QCVS7YP-6tTHQ1nA@mail.gmail.com
That resulted in cac83219.
The other ones could perhaps be marked with PGDLLIMPORT. Now usually
we need a use-case behind this change, and there are not that many
hackers on Windows doing much plugin development.
