And -g is completely unnecessary, given how df -h works.  In fact, df
-h works BETTER than -g since it will give you fractional gig.  Also,
-H is present for those that want SI units rather than traditional
compsci units (that is to say -h does power of 2 units, while -H does
power of 10 units).

Can't we back this, and the color ls crap out?
