Details:

I am not happy with the current description of %k (and %b):

----
Amount of disk space occupied by the file, measured in 1K blocks
(rounded up).  This can be less than the length of the file if 
it is a sparse file (that is, it has ``holes'').
----

The number is _not_ rounded at all, but the "used diskspace" *really* is
different from %s/1024, as a file uses n blocks of size x for a given
fileystem with blocksize x. (i.e. a one-byte file uses 4096 bytes on my ~/, as
I am using ext3 with blocksize 4096).

Patch against CVS attached.
