Update:

The current version in head r52 has these modifications now. As a side
note while doing the the original modification I noticed some strange
values (negative) and decided to just branch what I already had in head
to stable/7 and continue with the modifications in head. arc_summary.pl
has not been updated in the downloads section until I investigate more
what happened with those negative values and why.

I will probably be adding some more (2) lines to the ARC Size Breakdown
area that compares its current usage to the the target_size so a
comparison can be done side-by-side of the difference to current size
and what it would look like at the target_size.
