I was thinking a pg_export utility that can output to a range of other databases SQL formats would also be a good idea. It would share about 90% of the pg_dump code, but I'm trying to think of how to avoid duplicating the code.
How about we have a whole pg_dump/dumpall/restore/backup section in the TODO file?

I just got an autoreply from David stating he will be away until August 9 if we want this functionality we have to code it ourselves. If not it can wait until the next major release.
It can wait --- it was submitted after feature freeze anyway, and we certainly have more than enough other things to do in the next couple days.
I have a plan to allow pg_dump to dump any object in the next version - i suspect these two ideas will need reconciliation.
