It's there to declare struct timeval, and I'm fairly certain that diking
it out of the header would break things on some platforms. Where does
Windows define struct timeval?

Could we please use HAVE_SYS_TIME_H, rather than creating an unnecessary
platform specificity?

This seems likely to break anything expecting the Win32 definition
of ERROR. Can we look at not including elog.h in frontend builds,
instead? I can't think of any reason for frontend code to need it.
