Subject: Indexing on a separate volume

I was thinking this morning, how much work would it be to change the directory
structure of Postgres.
from:
postgres/
base/
db1/
db2/
db3/
...
pg_xlog/
to
postgres/
base/
db1/
db2/
db3/
...
index/
db1/
db2/
db3/
...
pg_xlog/
Or
postgres/
base/
db1/
data/
index/
db2/
data/
index/
db3/
data/
index/
...
pg_xlog/
This sort of arangment would allow putting indexes on separate volumes. If it
is a stupid idea, with little value or a huge amount of work, I take it back.
Seriously, however, does it make any sense?
