Must be pretty old if they don't work in 8.3. I've attached code for a
plpgsql exec_all function that matches table-names etc per schema.
Should be obvious enough how to wrap it for a grant_all or revoke_all
function. It assumes you've got a "util" schema to put it in.

COMMENT ON FUNCTION util.exec_all(name,name,name,text) IS $$
util.exec_all(OBJECT-TYPE, SCHEMA, OBJECT-NAME, COMMAND-TEXT)
Runs COMMAND-TEXT over the database objects matched by the wildcarded pattern in OBJECT-NAME.
OBJECT-TYPE: tables | tables-base | views | sequences
SCHEMA: name of a single schema
OBJECT-NAME: wildcarded name (e.g. 'sales_%')
COMMAND-TEXT: SQL statement(s) to execute, with object-names replaced by '?' or '??'
?? is replaced by the object-name
? is replaced by the full <schema-name>.<object-name>
EXAMPLE
=======
util.exec_all('tables', 'reports', '%', 'GRANT SELECT ON ? TO someuser');
