The default output from `du` is sortable, but not particularly readable.

The output from `du -h`, on the other hand, is quite readable, but not

sortable.

Let's fix this with a mindbogglingly horrible late-night bit of code!

`sorth` is meant to do one thing, and one thing well enough.   It

takes the raw output from `du -h` and sorts it by actual size (small

to large; other text is sorted to the top of the list.)

It takes one optional argument.  `sorth -r` sorts in reverse order.

To build `sort`, `make && make install`    If your system has the bsd

`fgetln` function in stdio, you need to do `make CFLAGS=-DHAS_FGETLN`

and if you want to install the binary somewhere other than the default,

`make BINDIR={your bin} install`
