So from the docs of pg-migrator:
"PostgreSQL version 8.2 changes the layout for values of type INET and
CIDR" - thus any tables with columns of those data types would have to
be dump/restored. 

My questions would be a) are there any other data types that have had
changes made to their on-disk representation? and b) have there been any
changes made to the table infrastucture layout from 8.1.x to 8.2 (that
would cause pg-migrator not to work) ?
