Comment(by slyfox):

 > What do you mean by 'nongettextized "M" and "K" duplication' ?

 Ideally,
 >               {"", "k", "m", "g", "t", "p", "e", "z", "y", NULL};
 could be internationalized via gettext (in far future :])

 and this looks like identifier duplication:
 >        xtra = kilobyte_si?"k":"K";
 ...
 >        xtra = kilobyte_si?"m":"M";

 can be changed to suffix[1,2]/suffix_ic[1,2] (with little code
 restructurements: move suffix* definitions upper). But will it be more
 readable?

 Tried to apply patch and didn't find this config option in menus. Is it
 intended for use in '~/.mc/ini' file only?
