Doable, perhaps, but I'm not quite sure why it's worth the trouble...
there doesn't seem to be that much value in running different DBs with
different values inside a single installation. Tweaking BLCKSZ, in
particular, will become fairly uninteresting once we solve the tuples-
bigger-than-a-block problem.
