Since we may have a workable backup/restore based on WAL available in 7.1,
I am now wondering at the wisdom of creating 'pg_restore', which reads the
new pg_dump archive files. It is probably better to have pg_backup &
pg_restore as the backup/restore utilities.

As a result do people have any objection to changing pg_restore to
pg_undump? Or pg_load?

Any other suggestions would also be welcome.
