I think it will complicate this feature unnecessarily for 9.1. 
Personally, I need this patch so much I'm thinking of backporting it. 
However, having all the data go to one directory/mount wouldn't trouble 
me at all.

Now, if only I could think of some way to write a parallel dump to a set 
of pipes, I'd be in heaven.
