No one. I've removed some of old code but not all, sorry.

This would be very appreciated. Table spaces will be in 7.2,
hopefully. For the moment tblNode is just database OID
(InvalidOid for shared relations). I think that to handle
locations we could symlink catalogs -
ln -s path_to_database_in_some_location .../base/DatabaseOid
