OK, Donald, I have added this patch to CVS that will return a proper
error message when invalid pg_dumpall options are used.  I added the
options mentioned in the pg_dumpall manual page, plus -F (which wasn't
mentioned in the manual page).

The reason -Ft can't be used is that ASCII SQL commands are output by
pg_dumpall, and these can't be merged with non-ASCII pg_dump output
formats.
