Hi,
This is important. kilo-, mega- or gigabytes prefixes use decimal, not
binary units according to biggest standards (SI, ATA, IEEE, disk
manufacturers, etc). Also only [kMG] accepted and [Kmg] not anymore.
Manual updated according to this. "Side-effect" of the patch: user
can't destroy his fs if uses the same or slightly bigger decimal unit
for disk partitioning (e.g. by cfdisk or recent fdisk) as he did for
ntfsresize [used binary units before]. From now on new/old volume
sizes are printed in bytes and MB's, not in clusters and MB's.
Cheers,
Szaka

Below patch includes:
- ntfsresize man page
- ntfsresize TODO update
- some spelling correction
- more usage() cleanup
- corrected misleading message after successful test-run
- syncing device after resize
- more verbose/correct hints after resize
I have some more testers but no feedback yet due to lack of their
time.
Cheers,
Szaka
