yes, i agree linux should be elevated to supported status.  Particularly
because
its should be so easy.

   1) cp src/port/fortc/sunos.m5 linux.m4
   2) i also had to set
        LD_YACC = /lib/ld_linux.so.1
        LD_MATH = -lm
       although i dont know why configure didnt pick those up. Perhaps my linux
is installed in a non-standard way?

   Also, i couldnt get the perl target to work, so i just disabled it
by seting PERL="" .  Probably something easy to fix but I didnt have time.

   While were on the subject of udunits, I would like to make a pitch for
improving the documentation, especially around the time conversions. Also, is
it my imagination, or is the install significatntly more clumsy than netcdf?
 Are there any plans for improving the package itself?  Nice package, but not
easy to use.
