IMHO the cleanest way would be to move all of that into the server.
There are already functions like pg_getindexdef() which pg_dump can
(could?) use. But of course that won't fix the problem for existing PG
versions.

For a medium-term solution, a plpgsql extension (or the client-side
equivalent) seems like the best way.
