This sounds like a very worth while project and I wanted to suggest that
you look into the Ada Standard Component Library Working Group
(http://www.suffix.com/Ada/SCL/) as both a source of
information/inspiration and as a place you may care to share your work.
Someone sent me some useful unit conversions you may want to consider
:-))
2000 mockingbirds = 2 kilomockingbirds
1/2 lavatory = 1 demijohn
2.71828 grams if a turd = 1 natural log
1000 grams of wet socks = 1 litre hossen
1 trillion grams of brown marijuana = 1 terracotta pot
2 wharves = 1 paradox
