My basic proposal is that we optionally allow symlinks when creating
tablespace directories, and that we interrogate those symlinks during a
dump so administrators can move tablespaces around without having to
modify environment variables or system tables.

I also suggested creating an extent directory to hold extents, like
extent/2 and extent/3.  This will allow administration for smaller sites
to be simpler.
