I have tested the pg_dumpall (with PATHNAME stuff) which Peter E. has mailed
to this list.
It works fine on QNX4 but definitly not on Digital Unix.
The version in CVS works in general, but not on QNX4. On QNX4 I have to
remove the escape backslashes.

I'm inclined to say that it should work but probably doesn't everywhere.
But I need to fix this because all the scripts currently contain ``
sequences that need to be double-quoted because otherwise they will fail
if the installation path contains whitespace. (See those ${PATHNAME}
things.)
For now I might have to resort to yanking that PATHNAME logic again and
use the new pg_dumpall since it appears to magically work.
