Hi,

when using "df -h" the output will use the largest unit that doesn't
have a leading 0. This often results in quite imprecise output, e.g.
1.1T or 1.8G. It would be nice if instead it cout use the smallest
unit that use 4 or less characters (maybe even 5 if a "." is involved).

So the output would go

    0 -  9999           0 -  9999
10.0k - 9999k  or  10.00k - 9999k
10.0M - 9999M      10.00M - 9999M
10.0G - 9999G  or  10.00G - 9999G

and so on. Extra points for adding a --precision=<num chars> instead
of hardcoding 4/5 chars.
