On second thought, ISTM that we cannot use any source files which exist
in places other than contrib/dblink and installation directory when we
compile dblink under USE_PGXS=1. But we can put the file implementing
new PQexec on those neither. So I'm thinking again that it should be
provided as the shared library and be linked from walreceiver and dblink.
Is this right?

If adding new shared library is too big change at this point, I think
that we should postpone the fix only for dblink to 9.1 or later. Since
no one has complained about this long-term problem of dblink, I'm not
sure it really should be fixed right now. Thought?
