For the whole thing I have:
TAB=" "
PP='cut -f 2- -d "$TAB" \
| while read dirname ; do
echo "$(du -sh $dirname)"
done'
...
du -s "$@" \
| sort -$SORT_ARGS \
| sed 's@ \./@ @' \
| eval "$PP" ;;
which gives an output like
[eben@pc eben]$ time ddu -h /export/media/*
4.0K /export/media/palette.64.gif
4.0K /export/media/palette.64.ppm

I'd like it if the "M"s, "K"s and "G"s were all aligned, but "du -sh" does
it as shown too, so I'd have to do a lot of work to make it otherwise.
Thanks Bill, for the idea.
