Hi,

I sending promised patch with:

        * getopt_long() - for pg_dump (portable)

        * and "Usage: " changes in scripts in src/bin/
          - this changes are cosmetic only, not change any
          feature ...etc.

 All PostgreSQL routines (scripts) support now long options and
help's output is alike for all scripts and all support -? or --help.

                                                Karel
