Thanks for the new patches.  0001 and 0002 look reasonable to me.  This is
a nitpick, but we might want to use atooid() in 0002, which is just
shorthand for the strtoul() call you are using.

I think we need to be cautious about using WriteInt and ReadInt here.  OIDs
are unsigned, so we probably want to use InvalidOid (0) instead.

I would suggest making the resizing logic common.

    if (AH->version >= K_VERS_1_16)
    {
        depId = ReadInt(AH);
        if (depId == InvalidOid)
            break;        /* end of list */
    }
    else
    {
        tmp = ReadStr(AH);
        if (!tmp)
            break;        /* end of list */
        depId = strtoul(tmp, NULL, 10);
        free(tmp);
    }

    if (depIdx >= depSize)
    {
        depSize *= 2;
        deps = (DumpId *) pg_realloc(deps, sizeof(DumpId) * depSize);
    }
    deps[depIdx] = depId;

Also, can we make depId more locally scoped?

I have yet to look into 0004 still.
