Saves worring about adding support for otherfs types - or not knowing
what the answer means because you don't know whether df understands
the fs type concerned.

Posix requires the current behaviour, so I'm surprised Solaris will
look at unmounted fs (it probably has a /usr/xpg4/bin/df though).

We aren't actually comformant anyway:

1) posix requires the default output to show the number of free inodes.
2) posix requires a -t option show the allocated space.

I don't know where they got there 'default' output rule from!
the '-t' clashes :-(
