We are two months past feature freeze ... adding entirely new features
to pg_dump is *not* on the table for 8.2.  What we need to do at the
moment is make sure that the features we've got work sanely and won't
create headaches for likely future extensions; but not actually
implement those extensions.

Isn't this the same as Kris' complaint?  Why do you need additional
dependency analysis to do the above?
