So the use case of parralel dump in a bunch or user given locations

I think it will complicate this feature unnecessarily for 9.1.
Personally, I need this patch so much I'm thinking of backporting it.
However, having all the data go to one directory/mount wouldn't
trouble me at all.
Now, if only I could think of some way to write a parallel dump to a
set of pipes, I'd be in heaven.
The only way I can see that working sanely would be to have a program
gathering stuff at the other end of the pipes, and ensuring it was all
coherent. That would be a huge growth in scope for this, and I seriously
doubt it's worth it.
