[boost] Yet another physical quantities unit library (0.1) uploaded toyahoo groups files section

For better or worse, warts and all, I've uploaded my working prototype.
It isn't meant to be complete, and it certainly in anything like a final
form, but it sort of does some of the right things.

The zip-file is under boost yahoo groups with name yapqul-0.1.zip
It has only been tested with g++ 3.3.2.

There is a very simple README.

Things I really don't like:
 * It isn't fully cut over to using boost things that already exist:
   I'd missed static_abs, for instance.  (It does use static_gcd.)
 * There are only a handful of abbreviations defined.
 * Yes, it is hard coded to the "normal" seven fundamental dimensions.

This is basically a baseline before I rip things apart, and glue them
back together slightly differently.  First, I am going to have another
attempt at using boost::mpl::vector - yes, it will be fixed length of
dimensions again.  Second, I will generalise the base set of dimensions. 
I still have significant concerns about how quantities defined in 2
different systems will inter-operate, but... well, it will be fairly
trivial to do.

Have a laugh, rip it apart.  All feedback welcomed, not matter how
unwelcome it is...
