Maybe the free space could be an option *in* the mini status. To make
people aware of this new option we could default to representing it in
the mini status.

Using this option to the mini status probably means the mini status
needs to be updated on occasions. Jindrich, are you willing to rewrite
your patch in this way?

A small point of criticism is the size of the displayed string.
Something like

888/999M 89%
999k/100M 1%

would be more to my liking. This way the string is as long as a date
field (except when the disk is filled for 100%, and assuming >= 1000k is
translated to 1M etc).
