I only wonder since when the solution to a problem of the nature "I need a
program like X, that does A but not B" is to make a textual copy of X,
remove all the parts that do B, and sell it as a different program.

I added an option for pg_dumpall now to only dump the users and
groups. This whole thing will probably break horribly in semantics once
we implement SQL roles, though.
