Hmm, well I have no interest in the latter at present, but assuming the
powers that be will allow me some time to do so, I will look at merging
pg_dump and pg_dumpall as that seems to be the way people want to go.
I'd also like to tweak the options for global objects to allow roles and
tablespaces to be dumped seperately from each other if no-one objects.

Cool - fancy picking up the multi-db non text and pg_restore bits if I
do the former?
