I have a prototypeish parser running here, specified with yacc:

$ ./parseunit
2m + 3in
Result: 2.076200 m
40cm / 2in
Result: 7.874000
2m * 3ft
syntax error
2m * 3ft / 2in
Ergebnis: 35.998171 m

It kind of tries to track the dimension of the value entered and
currently bails out for dimensions > 2. Not very reliable but it might
help for a good start of the parser.

If you're curious I'll put the code online somewhere.

Bye,
        Simon
