Sounds something like TOAST, part of PostgreSQL 7.1, to be released
soon.  TOAST, however, is in the backend itself and is fully automatic.

Hardcoded row limits on the amount of data per row (there is still a
limit on the number of _columns_ in a row, but not on the size of each
column) are gone in 7.1.
