I'm not too fussed about a row-by-row comparison between the source and the
copy. It's rather a case of a tool to check the datafiles' integrity (such
as fsck, myisamchk, svnadmin verify etc).

If the fact that pg_dumpall returned successfully, then i would hope that
all the data is present and correct.
