Committed with assorted corrections. I have not done anything about
the issues mentioned in
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/21837.1248215656@sss.pgh.pa.us
mainly that pg_dump's treatment of large-object contents is not safe
against changes of standard_conforming_strings. I think that ought to
get dealt with before moving on.
