I've just started playing around with udunits2, but I think that it might be 
better to install the xml files into the pkgdatadir instead of just datadir. 
On my F10 system only one package installs a file into /usr/share 
(interestingly, its the GNU units package).  The pkgdatadir just adds the 
package name to datadir, so its not that big of a change.

P.S.  I've attached a patch on lib/Makefile.am for your perusal.
