As Units go,
I'd like to point to some of Gunther Schadow's work because I some of 
the ideas have appeal to me.
Particularly his paper "Unified Code for Units of Measure" found at
        http://aurora.rg.iupui.edu/~schadow/units/UCUM/ucum.html
I uploaded his 1996 units conversion library from the GPL Protogen 
library available at his site to the yahoo files
as Schadow96Units.tar.gz as well.
