Quota Monitor Menu Improvements

I've hacked on Quota Monitor Menu to better suit our own needs. I'll be working with the original author, Adam Gerson, to get these changes out.

For now, just to whet your appetite:

Long text in menubar replaced with a home icon, with percentage inside of it (see image above).

Works without quotas (reporting disk size), or with hard-only quotas, or hard and soft quotas.

Under leopard, it works with rquotad-based quotas (Leopard added this to their quotactl system call).

Preferences allow you to warning levels as a percentage, or in kilobytes or megabytes. You can also specify polling times.
