Install better ls, du, and df tools in 10.3

Three words:
fink install fileutils
I swear, its the first thing I type into the command line as soon as Fink and the DevTools are installed on a computer.

The only problems that I've occasionally ever had with fileutils are:
1. The "unstable" version is often very unstable
2. The build process chokes and fails to finish linking everything up when compiling

I have never had any issues running the current stable release of fileutils once it has been compiled it successfully. In the rare occurrences where I have seen segfaults, removing and rebuilding the package from source solved the problem pretty quick.

This may happen if prebinding is acting up and can be easily solved by running 'sudo /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/update-package-prebinding.pl -f'
