CVS tip's pg_dump orders objects more appropiately than before - AFAIU
the dump is always correct. If you have this kind of problem, the new
code could save you some work. If you use it, make sure you use the
"-X disable-dollar-quoting" switch too, because otherwise the dump won't
be loadable on released versions.
