I read the GSoC ideas page and think the only one I'm possibly to help for now is "Rewrite (add) pg_dump and pg_restore utilities as libraries (.so, .dll & .dylib)",
while I'm still not clear with the whole postgreSQL project.
If my understanding is correct, taking pg_dump as an example, this should include refactoring the pg_dump.c and rewrite the Makefile to make it as shared libraries.
