That doesn't mean it's a good idea. For one, it would prevent anyone to
install them as pg_dump71, etc., which I had hoped to offer sometime. But
I'm just one voice... If you make pg_dump a one-line shell script on the
other hand you don't hurt anyone.

Does Windows 98 have (sym)links? That's a supported client platform.
