On a somewhat related subject, could you comment on the current significance (after your work) of the "units.txt" and "units.xml" files? When I tested this earlier, these files contained duplicate information, but it seemed that some unit definitions were compiled into the program, and some were taken from "units.txt", whereas "units.xml" had no influence whatsoever.
The code that reads units.txt was partially migrated to read from XML and then apparently abandoned before the XML parser was fully implemented. I replaced it with a simple GMarkup-based parser, so that now only units.xml is used.
