 * June 30, 2001                 Manuel Novoa III
 *
 * All-integer version (hey, not everyone has floating point) of
 * make_human_readable_str, modified from similar code I had written
 * for busybox several months ago.
 *
 * Notes:
 *   1) I'm using an unsigned long long to hold the product size * block_size,
 *      as df (which calls this routine) could request a representation of a
 *      partition size in bytes > max of unsigned long.  If long longs aren't
 *      available, it would be possible to do what's needed using polynomial
 *      representations (say, powers of 1024) and manipulating coefficients.
 *      The base ten "bytes" output could be handled similarly.
 *
 *   2) The output of "ls -sh" can be misaligned because this routine always
 *      outputs a decimal point and a tenths digit when display_unit != 0.
 *      Hence, it isn't uncommon for the returned string to have a length
 *      of 5 or 6 instead of <= 4 (as assumed).
 *
 *      It might be nice to add a flag to indicate no decimal digits in
 *      that case.  This could be either an additional parameter, or a
 *      special value of display_unit.  Such a flag would also be nice for du.
 *
 *      Some code to omit the decimal point and tenths digit is sketched out
 *      and "#if 0"'d below.
