However, liblzf is BSD licensed so on the license side we should be fine. Regarding patents, your last comment was that you'd like to see if it's really worth it and so I have included support for lzf for anybody to go ahead and find that out.
Will send an updated split up patch this weekend (which would actually be four patches already...).

so I *strongly* recommend splitting it out. We have generally resisted
adding random compression algorithms to pg_dump because of license and
patent considerations, and I see no reason to suppose this one is going
to pass muster.
