I just realized there is yet another new construct in 7.4. The sequences
are created with NO MAXVALUE (and MINVALUE). Couldn't these just be
removed in the pg_dump output in this case. It's the default anyway,
right.

I just imported a fairly big dump from a 7.4 database into a 7.3 database
and the sequences was the only thing I had to change. Of course the
database in itself was designed on 7.3 so it didn't use any 7.4 features.

It's not a big issue, it's just that it seems simple to dump SQL code (for
sequences) that work the same on both 7.4 and older, not just 7.4.
