Funny you should ask...

I'm just in the process of converting all of the "utilities" man pages
to sgml. For this release, we should keep the man pages as-is, but we
will have equivalent info in hardcopy and html.

So, I haven't updated the man page yet, but I'll do that. I did update
the usage printout from pg_dump itself.

And, can we be sure to update both sgml and man pages from here to
release to keep them in sync? I should be able to commit most sgml
sources for the utilities this evening; on my list of "must-haves" just
pg_dump, pg_dumpall, and vacuum are left to do.

btw, is "-n" an acceptable choice for the flag? I'd be happy with
anything, but decided that "-q" probably shouldn't be used since many
programs use it to mean "quiet". So -n for "No quotes" is what I chose
instead...
