Nope, because pg_dumpall only outputs plain-text scripts, which you
can't feed to pg_restore. 7.3's pg_dumpall was a few bricks shy of a
load as far as supporting all the possibly-useful options of pg_dump :-(
so I think you're kinda stuck here. You can either hack up the
pg_dumpall sources to add this option, or go to 7.4.
