`git blame` tells me that this switch statement goes back to 2001.

we were not nearly as careful then as we are now about such things. Feel

thanks for the reply,here's the patch for the same. 

I don't think we need a new file for this. pg_backup_utils.c is already there for routines common to pg_restore and pg_dump.

cheers
