I have also expressed an interest in actually doing this but there 
hasn't been much interest in making sure it actually works so I've 
trekked off on my own.  From my perspective it seems like the goal is to 
fast track this static unit library into boost without first making sure 
people are going to use it, and second that they can.  If the 
expectation is that people will build runtime unit systems on top of 
this then steps should be taken to make that possible, easy, and clean. 
  However, when I brought this option up earlier it was deemed 
unimportant.  That's fine, but I can't really support the library 
without this.
