# The first column is the unit name.  The second column indicates whether or
# not the unit name has a plural form (i.e. with an 's' appended).  
# A 'P' indicates that the unit has a plural form, whereas, a 'S' indicates
# that the unit has a singular form only.  The remainder of the line is the 
# definition for the unit.
#
# '#' is the to-end-of-line comment-character.
#
# NB: When adding to this table, be *very* careful to distinquish between
# the letter 'O' and the numeral zero '0'.  For example, the following two
# entries don't do what one might otherwise expect:
#
#	mercury_0C		mercury_32F
#	millimeter_Hg_0C	mm mercury_OC
