I've written this one in bash:

#########################################################
#!/bin/bash

pg_dumpall -g > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/globals.sql
for dbname in `psql -qXtc "
select
datname from pg_catalog.pg_database
where datname<>'template0'
" template1`
do
pg_dump -b -F t "$dbname" > "/var/lib/pgsql/backups/$dbname.dump"
done
#########################################################

This would break if any database name has white space.
