pgAdmin currently invokes pg_dump/restore externally with pipes attached
to stdin/out/err, but a library implementation would solve some
headaches (esp. concerning portability) managing background
execution/GUI updates/process control. I'd like a libpgdumprestore
library, with pg_dump/pg_restore being lean wrapper programs.
