libpq? I thought only the minor version number changed. On linux that means
you can only usefully have one installed at once, the older one would never be
used. I think on other OSes the older one might be used sometimes.

In any case, can't 7.3 pg_dump use the 7.4 libpq? 
If not then the major version should be bumped.
