Why don't we just add an option to pg_dump --use-compress-program, just
like tar and then people can use their "compression algorithm of the
week" and we don't need to care about the licence or anything.

Can't this be done already?

pg_dump -Z 0 | compression_binary >mydump

If -Z is unspecified, I think it won't compress?  Maybe you can just drop the 
-Z.
