The original reason was to make it available to non-C programs.  The
reason it was put in configure.in in particular was that the next Autoconf
upgrade would require that anyway.  (Well, nothing is required, but that's
kind of the way things were supposed to work.)

I think you can just define it empty since the only way it will be used
(in the subset of things Win32 builds) is for psql --version output.
