It's a define so that you can easily set it either to "Inline" i.e. the C99
standard for inlining functions, or empty if your C-compiler doesn't
support function inlining.

In 'core/compat.h' there's this piece of platform compatibility:
-----------
/* Define INLINE for different compilers. */
#ifndef INLINE
# ifdef __GNUC__
#  define INLINE inline
# else
#  ifdef _MSC_VER
#   define INLINE __inline
#  else
#   define INLINE
#  endif
# endif
#endif
-------------

If MSVC doesn't recognize "inline" keyword at all, the above
define should AFAIK be empty when _MSC_VER is set.
If later versions of MSVC support inlining, then there needs  to
be a check for MSVC version, so that it can be defined differently
according to the version.
