I think we're hoping that somebody will step up and investigate how
narwhal's problem might be fixed. However, the machine's owner (Dave)
doesn't appear to have the time/interest to do that. That means that
our realistic choices are to retire narwhal or revert the linker changes
that broke it. Since those linker changes were intended to help expose
missing-PGDLLIMPORT bugs, I don't much care for the second alternative.
