[UDUNITS #PPU-703715]: bug when linking to libudunits2.1.13 + solution



Jisk,

I'm about to release a new distribution that will check for the existence of an 
Expat library on the host system and only build (and install) the Expat library 
that comes with the UDUNITS-2 package if one doesn't already exist.

I've also documented that "-lexpat" will be necessary for linking.

Thanks for sending this in.
