Hehe, and some provision have been made to support upgrading from 9.0 to
9.1 too:

http://pgsql.tapoueh.org/extensions/doc/html/extend-extension.html#AEN50748

But that won't solve the dump-from-9.0 and restore-into-9.1 by itself,
the only way for us to solve that problem that I can think of would be
to backpatch a new feature. Do it the old-way until you upgrade from
9.1 to later might be our answer here.
