This is unfortunate for a few reasons:

 - xdiff/* is a borrowed code; we do not want to have (or add more)
   dependencies on the rest of Git, including compat-util.

 - When a piece of our code needs our compatibility support,
   compat-util must be the first header file included (either
   directly, or indirectly by including another header file that
   includes it at the top).

My gut feeling is that adding a mechanism to add -DINLINE=__inline
only on MSVC to the top-level Makefile, without touching this file,
may be a much more palatable.

I dunno.
