Hmm.  The problem I have with this idea is that the only way to dump the
per-database role settings is if you are also dumping the contents of
all databases.  Which seems like a pain to me because the usage I
usually recommend is to backup global objects with pg_dumpall -g.

I wonder if pg_dumpall should have a method for dumping database
creation and settings, excluding contents (leaving that for plain
pg_dump).
