The current project is not in good shape. Feature freeze is coming and nothing is committed. Currently there are three patches in the game:

2) pg_upgrade.sh http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-12/msg00248.php Pg_upgrade.sh is shell script for catalog conversion. It works for 8.3->8.4 upgrade. It will be useful while we will not have better solution. Disadvantage is that it is korn shell script. The idea is to rewrite it in PERL which is more portable, but I'm not PERL expert and currently there is no workable solution. And what is deadline for it? We can delivery it later with 8.4.1, but best time for testing is during betas and RC period.
I have had a very brief look at this. Translation to perl doesn't look difficult. I'll see what I can do during the next week or so.
