- updated to version 2.00:
    General changes:
    * Unit lists provide conversion to sums of units (e.g. feet and inches).
    * Added --round (-r) and --show-factor (-S) options for use with unit lists.
    * Added unit lists aliases (e.g. time, usvol).
    * A python script, units_cur, can update currency data.
    * Units now flushes its output so you can talk to it with a pipe. 
    * Units now works in UTF-8 if the system supports it.  
    * Added --locale (-l) option to set the locale.
    * English units such as the gallon are defined in all locales, with US
      definitions by default except in the en_BG locale.  You can force
      the desired definition (Great Britain or US) by setting the
      environment variable UNITS_ENGLISH to GB or US.  
    * Revised and extended the documentation, with more examples. 
    * Added locale mapping to address Windows locale names. 
    * Updated and revised units database, including UTF-8 definitions and
      the 2010 CODATA. 
    * Fixed parsing bug for "1..2" or "1.2.3".  These now give an error. 
    * Unit names can end with a number in the form of a subscript that
      starts with a '_', as in 'X_3'.  
    Changes for units definition files:
    * Changed location and names of unit database, splitting off currency
      Files are /usr/local/share/units/{definitions,currency}.units and
      the personal units file is $HOME/.units instead of $HOME/units.dat.  
    * Personal units filename can be changed with MYUNITSFILE environment variable.
    * Prefixes can be defined in any order: it is no longer necessary to
      define longer ones before shorter ones.  
    * New definitions replace previous ones.  Personal units file is read
      after the system file rather than before.  
    * Changed syntax for function definitions.  Instead of [in-unit,out-unit]
