I had a similar need for conversions in optics. I put together several
functions and data on r-forge, where it does not clutter CRAN but can
still be shared conveniently with others.

I am a biologist that works in the states, and there is often a need
to convert from standard units to metric units. Is there a package
in
R for this already? If not I believe that I am going to write some
of
the most often used in function form. My question is should I
include
this in my StreamMetabolism package. It is not along the same theme
lines, but could loosely fit. The reason that I ask is that I don't
want to clutter CRAN with a small package containing some conversion
functions because I am to lazy to source them into R every time
that I
use them, but I also don't want the StreamMetabolism package to turn
into StephenMisc Fuctions. Thoughts, comments, or suggestions would
be appreciated.
RSiteSearch turns up the MedUnits package; maybe your conversions are
already there, or would fit within that package.
