A big +1 to --pre-data and --post-data, but until we get there, or 
if you have an existing dump file (schema *or* schema+data) that needs 
parsing, there is an existing tool:

Once these new flags and the ability to custom format dump pg_dumpall 
is done, I'll have very little left to complain about with pg_dump :)
