As much as I would like to, I don't have any documentation on the differences 
in strings accepted by the two packages.  Creating such documentation is 
problematical because the input to both packages is potentially infinite (what 
with prefixes upon prefixes).  I tried to have UDUNITS-2 accept everything that 
UDUNITS-1 would accept.  The only differences that I can recall are "g" and "u".
