Dumping a whole cluster is certainly much of a planned job, not an interactive online one, because its output usually won't be usable except for disaster recovery. Not much function to "re-create" here, single exception is extracting cluster wide data, the -g option, that's why I mentioned scripting. But apparently this didn't get into pgadmin svn any more, so I need to retract this proposal.
