[UDUNITS #EYN-795297]: UDUNITS documentation

Which package did you get?  UDUNITS (alias UDUNITS-1) or UDUNITS-2?

They both have documentation, but not the same kind.  The UDUNITS-1 
documentation comprises man(1) pages (try "man 3 udunits").  The UDUNITS-2 
documentation comprises info(1) files, HTML files, and PDF files (all with the 
same information).
