These modules were all missing essential Windows scaffolding, including
resources files and descriptions, and links to the relevant library
import files. This latter item means that the modules can't be built
with pgxs on Windows, as we don't install the import files. If we ever
decide to install them this restriction could probably be removed.
Also, as with plperl we need to make sure that perl's CORE directory is
last on the include list, as on Windows it appears to contain some
headers with names that clash with names of some headers we include.
This provides a mechanism for specifying conversions between SQL data
types and procedural languages. As examples, there are transforms
for hstore and ltree for PL/Perl and PL/Python.
