In the supplied library of units and constants there is a typo in the
value of the elementary charge. The "e" is missing before the exponent
resulting in bad values upon unit conversion:

     $ udunits2
     udunits2: Using default XML database
     You have: 1 e
     You want: C
         1 e = 0.000128973 C
         x/C = 0.000128973*(x/e)

(The correct value is 1 e = 1.602176487e-19 C.)

The attached patch fixes the problem and introduces an update value from
the NIST constants homepage http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?e

With best regards,
Stefan Tibus
