This is hard to understand, because SnapshotNow is defined in
utils/tqual.h, and dblink.c includes that file.

Also, I checked out the official sources at tag REL8_4_4 and it looks
to me like there's no reference to SnapshotNow on line 1698. That
line for me is blank, and the only reference I see to SnapshotNow is
on line 1715.

So I suspect that what you've got is a modified version of the sources
that is somehow messed up.
