Well for me that would not be a option.  I use object pascal and can't
statically link C code into my apps.  Doing the statically linked thing
would also bloat any resulting binary.

I don't think the whole --output-version thing would be a good idea
either, but it would be a simple matter to add some logic for the
GRANT ON SEQUENCE, which seems to be the only thing that is really
causing problems at least between 8.1 and 8.2.

The old way of granting permissions on sequences still works on 8.2
right?  If so then maybe a switch to disable GRANT ON SEQUENCE would do
the trick.
