It appears that there already is a -h flag in -CURRENT, but has not been
merged to -STABLE yet.  I've Cc:'ed Josef Karthauser <joe@FreeBSD.org> in
this message, who made the original change to -CURRENT.

    date: 2001/12/28 20:50:12;  author: joe;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -1
    Add a new flag, -h which when combined with the -l option causes
    file sizes to be displayed with unit suffixes; Byte, Kilobyte,
    Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte in order to reduce the
    number of digits to three or less.

Josef, is there any case this change is MFC'ed?
Can we help in any way?
