For example currently to say get the size of all the home directories

life simpler and make going from FreeBSD systems to Linux systems
easier for people and scripts if the syntax : du /home -h -d 1 was
also supposed.

Prior practice is always a good reason to support changes like this. It
would be a very simple patch to du.c to convert --max-depth from
long-option only to also having a short-option equivalent. Would you
like to try your hand at it first?

If not, I can probably get around to this in another day or two.
