postgresql/contrib/dbsize/README.dbsize
Bruce Momjian ad0787b2bd I've written on like that a while ago:
http://webmail.postgresql.org/~petere/dbsize.html

The tarball can be rolled into contrib -- now that I think of it I don't
know why I never did that.

Never imagined this would have anything to do with that TODO item,
though.
I figured oid2name accomplished that.

This module contains two functions that report the size of a given
database or relation. E.g.,
SELECT database_size('template1');
SELECT relation_size('pg_class');
These functions report the actual file system space. Thus, users can
avoid digging through the details of the database directories.
Copy this directory to contrib/dbsize in your PostgreSQL source tree.
Then just run make; make install.
