That was it, I just recompiled PG with a blocksize of 16KB, i.e.
edited src/include/config.h.in's BLCKSZ definition, ran configure,
and did a gmake all/gmake install.

As I mentioned, I had other reasons for wanting to run with a 16KB
blocksize while waiting for TOASTed large text (and other) types,
so it's no biggie for me.

Others might find this change a lot more annoying.
