By the way, is anyone interested in creating some sort of online
repository on pgsql.org or pgfoundry where we can keep statically
compiled pg_dump/all for several platforms for 8.1?

That way if someone wanted to upgrade from 7.2 to 8.1, they can just
grab the latest dumper from the website, dump their old database, then
upgrade easily.

In my experience not many pgsql admins have test servers or the skills
to build up test machines with the latest pg_dump, etc.  (Seriously.)
In fact, few realise at all that they should use the 8.1 dumper.
