Here's my latest stab at a Vector implementation using boost geometry and 
units libraries.
This seems like way too much work for way too little benefit.
Perhaps, boost::units should be used only as an interface tool.
Once you try to use aggregates like matrices and points, its use becomes 
cumbersome.

please post your solution if you find one. I have a similar problem.
