ngie 18951eee49 Add supporting changes for Add limited sandbox capability to "make check"
Non-tests/... changes:
- Add HAS_TESTS= to Makefiles with libraries and programs to enable iteration
  and propagate the appropriate environment down to *.test.mk.

tests/... changes:
- Add appropriate support Makefile.inc's to set HAS_TESTS in a minimal manner,
  since tests/... is a special subdirectory tree compared to the others.

# $FreeBSD$

This is a program which I wrote as a clone of the UNIX 'units'
command.  I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work,
with some restrictions.  I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and
Ultrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1.  

This program differs from the unix units program in the following
ways:
   it can gracefully handle exponents larger than 9 in output
   it uses 'e' to denote exponentiation in numbers
   prefixes are listed in the units file
   it tries both -s and -es plurals
   it allows use of * for multiply and ^ for exponentiation in the input
   the output format is somewhat different
