Rich,

Know all persons by these presents that

Whereas:
    * UDUNITS is used by lots of netCDF-ers; and
    * A lot of netCDF-ers use Windows (shudder!); and
    * The netCDF package builds under windows using CMake(1);
    * It might be possible to port the UDUNITS-2 package to CMake(1) and 
Windows;

Be it therefore resolved that:
    I'll give it a go after I release the next LDM version (which should be 
this week).
