If Richard's envisioning more than 1GB of large objects, I don't think
he's going to be very satisfied with manual symlinking.
This does bring up an interesting point: the tablespace schemes we've
discussed so far don't allow system catalogs to be moved out of the
default tablespace for a database. That doesn't bother me for most
of the system catalogs ... but pg_largeobject seems like it might be
an exception.
