Per "objdump -x src/pl/plpython/plpython3.dll | less -pOrdinal/Name", those
symbols aren't exported. The Cygwin toolchain appears to export every
function until you mark one with __declspec (dllexport), after which it
exports just the ones so marked. Since plpython3.dll has an explicit
__declspec on PyInit_plpy(), that's the sole function exported. Adding
-Wl,--export-all-symbols to the PL/Python link lets the build complete; I have
not researched whether it is a proper fix.
