Grr, deleted Tom's email before I replied...

pg_dump -Fc | pg_restore will only match the output of pg_dump if
everything's the same version though, right? Or wrong? What happens if
pg_dump -Fc is and older version and pg_restore is the current version?

Or is the custom format the same as the text/SQL dump, just with some
fancy wrappers around it?
