If CREATE TABLESPACE replication also looked at the flag I was
proposing, it could work. :) Of course, the admin wouldn't be able
to move the directory/change the symlink to where they actually want
it to be w/o taking the replication server down, but I'm not sure
that's a show-stopper...

It's certainly not the cleanest/nicest approach, don't get me wrong, but
I really hate the idea of forcing people to have an identical filesystem
layout on the slave that they have on the master.
