There is now /contrib/pg_upgrade. It has all the things I can think of
for upgrading. Hopefully it can be tested extensively for 7,3 and fully
supported.
If people don't like that it is a shell script, it can be rewritten in
another language, but the basic steps it takes will have to be done no
matter what language it is written in.
However, as I have warned before, an major change from 7.2 to 7,3 could
make it unusable. My point is that it isn't that I haven't tried to
make an upgrade script --- the problem is that making one sometimes is
impossible.
