Doesn't pg_dump handle large objects these days?

It does, so pg_dumplo is probably dead code --- for people running 7.1
or later.  The reason I'm taking an interest in it is that Great Bridge
wants to make it available to people running 6.5.* or 7.0.*, so that
they can get their large objects into newer versions in the first place.

Also, it's possible that someone using pg_dumplo would not want to
change (though I'm not sure why not).  So we probably oughta leave it
in the distro for a version or three anyway.
