FWIW, and I havent read the entire thread, but pg_dump already *stores*
this information in a custom format. Try:

pg_dump -Fc blah
pg_restore -L ...

and you will get something like:

;
; Archive created at Sun Nov 29 12:34:24 2009
;     dbname: blah
;     TOC Entries: 202
;     Compression: -1
;     Dump Version: 1.10-0
;     Format: CUSTOM
;     Integer: 4 bytes
;     Offset: 8 bytes
;     Dumped from database version: 8.0.3
;     Dumped by pg_dump version: 8.0.3
;

so, all that is needed is to add the relevant statements into the output
code.
