-* Use "units.h" in units (function from miscellaneous package) rather than making a call and parsing its output (and having to handle multiple versions of it). This change will make it much more robust. Should be very simple but requires knowledge of C (units is written on C) and C++ to write its Octave interface.
+* Use "units.h" from [http://www.gnu.org/software/units/ GNU units] in [http://octave.sourceforge.net/miscellaneous/function/units.html function units] (from the Octave-Forge [http://octave.sourceforge.net/miscellaneous/ miscellaneous package]) rather than making a system call and parsing its output (and having to handle multiple versions of it). This change will make it much more robust. It likely will alleviate the requirement of having [http://www.gnu.org/software/units/ GNU units] installed in the system separately by the user. Should be very simple but requires knowledge of C (units is written on C) and C++ to write its Octave interface.
