The UDUNITS package was designed to be installed on UNIX-like systems
and not a Windows PC.

You could try building it manually on your PC.  I might be able to help 
you if you have problems.  This is what I would do:

    1.  Go into the "lib" subdirectory.

    2.  Compile all the C files with the C macro VISUAL_CPLUSPLUS defined.
        Use the file "Makefile.in" as a guide.
        
        I might be wrong about defining the VISUAL_CPLUSPLUS macro: you
        might need to define another C macro instead.  See the file
        "port/cfortran/cfortran.h" for ideas.

    3.  Create a library from the object files.

    4.  Link your program agains the library and see if it works.
