sizeof

Even though this tool isn't really done, I've decided to release what I've built so far.

This program finds the size of a directory or file's contents based on the arguments given, then scales it down into human-readable output. It's a great tool for tracking the largest files on disk, and is far more reliable than du, despite being slower.
