You can try for LO dump:

ftp://ftp2.zf.jcu.cz/users/zakkr/pg/pg_dumplo-0.0.3.tar.gz

I write this program for my private project, but I can continue in this
program development if it is interesting for more PG's uses. (Or add it to
contrib?)

..But as Bruce say, LO API is obsolete. But we don't forget: now exist
application which use LO and rewrite this app. to standard-tuple version
will of long duration - good LO support must be in more next PgSQL
versions too.
