0da1002132 units(1): Add support for output-format
Add support for the output-format argument.  This also exposes subtle
	rounding differences between GNU units and our units.

839ea05fb7 units: Support start of line comments with '#'
Modern GNU units(1) supports comments anywhere with '#' but take the easy route for now and at least support start of line # comments.

9ba0aa30f1 units(1): Add v option: verbose
For increased compatibility with GNU units: support a -v option which
produces more verbose output when spitting out the answer.
GNU -v does additional work in the version, information, and check output which
we do not (yet?) replicate.

ae022bf032 units(1): make -V print version instead of -v
The units program is likely little used.  It is even less likely that a script
will want the units program to print out its version number by passing -v.

GNU units uses -V for version and -v for verbosity.

Increase compatibility between these two versions (written by the same author)
by switching our flag as well.

Take this opportunity to remove bogus information about the version number and
just call it 'FreeBSD units'.

4ad48ef959 It seems when I added code for affine unit changes to units, I
forgot to tell the man page we could now convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.

8921eca1c0 As far as I can tell, you have never been able to use 'ab' as a unit
name if 'a' and 'b' are unit names. You can use 'a b' though.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.
