This will only work if we modify the dump format (a new version) of 
dump/restore; the TOC entry for a table would have:

DEFINITION: CREATE TABLE fred ... %%tablespace%% ...
TABLESPACE: ' TABLESPACE t'

pg_restore would read these, and use the settings from the command line to 
either substitute an empty string or the TABLESPACE text for %%tablespace%% 
in the DEFINTION.

Same would apply for indexes etc.
