168	UDUNITS2	Huw Lewis	Huw Lewis	"Udunits has been updated to UDUNITS-2. The 'originl' bversion (1.12.9) currently used with ROPP is described as deprecated on the Unidata website (although a download is still available).

The new package has an 'improved API, support for logarithmic units, support for multiple character sets, and XML database and a conversion utility'. These additional functionality are not required by ROPP.

Need to investigate the changes in udunits API - how compatibly are these with existing ROPP (CM) udunits wrappers? Aim to support ROPP use with both UDUNITS1 and UDUNITS2?
