This is now implemented in the moira client in the moira locker for
sun4x_58, sun4x_59, i386_linux24, and i386_rh9. You can specify quotas
with a modifier of either "M" or "G" (or "m", "mb", "g", "gb", "GB",
"MB", etc.) and have it do the right thing.
Note that this is done via client side parsing and the values are still
stored in the database as "1000000" for backwards compatability and
because that's how the AFS commands moira runs expect them.
