[ANNOUNCE] lsscsi 0.25 beta 1, adds --size

Martin Petersen recently sent me some patches
to add a --size (or '-s') option to lsscsi:

# lsscsi -s
[0:0:0:0] disk ATA INTEL SSD 2CV1 /dev/sda 80.0GB
[10:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb 1.09TB

Martin and I had several hacks at this. Getting
utilities to work reliably with sysfs across various
kernel versions continues to be a crap shoot. So
I am putting this out as a beta and hoping that
anyone with problems will contact me (or Martin).

Note that this logic decodes /sys/block/sda/size
(for example) so disks that are present but without
a block interface (e.g. physical disks in a RAID)
will not have a size shown ('-' is shown instead).

Version 0.25 beta 1 is available at:
http://sg.danny.cz/scsi/lsscsi.html
More information can be found on that page including examples
and a Download section for the tarball:

There are no debian or redhat packages built for this beta.
