I'm reporting some time data (but I might also want to report, say, memory 
use, so this isn't only time-related), and I'd like to scale the output, 
and change the units, as a "appropriate". By "appropriate", I guess I mean 
something like scientific notation, but replacing the exponent part with an 
adjusted SI prefix for my unit. (And I guess I might want to use 
days/hours/minutes and the like for high time values -- at least as an 
option.) Now, it's easy enough to whip up a function like that, but I 
thought I'd check if there is some obvious functionality somewhere that'll 
let me do it? The SIUnits package looks promising, but only normalizes the 
units, it seems? (Also, I get lots of warnings when I try to import it -- 
but I guess that's a temporary issue.) If nothing else, it has the prefix 
factors pre-defined :)

Any suggestions?
