Yes, this allows you to do really cool things, only that *you* has to 
write them... :)  I tried first looking for any already existing 
solution.

du has some nice options like --max-depth=N, --summarize and 
--exclude=PATH, which allows for specific detail in certain points of 
the directory tree (/home, for example).

I'll most surely end up writing a little script and calling it from the 
user menu in mc.

Thanks for your help !
