Time is at a serious premium for me at the moment (I have several projects 
all due about now); but I wrote a patch for this a few weeks back, so it 
should not be a lot of work (unless pg_dump has changed in the last couple 
of months).

I will *try* to get it done by Monday morning your time, and will let you 
know if I am going to miss this deadline as soon as I know.

Excellent. I assume that anything that can have a tablespace (database, 
schema(?), table and index -- anything else?) should emit a 'set 
default_tablespace="ts"' before creation (and that this will affect 
auto-created indexes as appropriate, whatever that means).

Thanks for all the work.
