This is part of a patch I'm working on right now. It's only partly done so
far (to get feedback from Matt), but here it is:

I'll add the ability to have a target specific formatter and default it to
be decimal for FreeBSD and Linux.

One of Matt's comments:

If you have any comments / suggestions on this, I'd love to hear em also...
