PFA a patch to provide an --exclude-database option for pg_dumpall. The
causes pg_dumpall to skip any database whose name matches the argument
pattern. The option can be used multiple times.

Among other use cases, this is useful where a database name is visible
but the database is not dumpable by the user. Examples of this occur in
some managed Postgres services.

I will add this to the September CF.

cheers

andrew
