You should really consider upgrading. There has been a lot of development, both 
feature-wise and concerning bug-squashing, since the 7.1-days.

8.1 has introduced the concept of a "maintenance-database", but you can easily 
do something similar by either creating your db's with "CREATE DATABASE foo 
WITH TEMPLATE = template0;" (but anything you have changed in template1 after 
PostgreSQL-installation won't be in your new db then) or simply create another 
template-database, say template2 for this purpose.

Kind regards
