[UDUNITS #BRT-487845]: udunits problem when running cfchecks

Si,

The UDUNITS-2 library never contained the Expat functions: they were always in 
a separate library (either bundled or pre-installed). So that assumption never 
worked.

The UDUNITS-2 library never contained everything necessary. Doing so would be a 
mistake as it would preclude, for example, using a security patch to the Expat 
library.

I recommend that you contact the cfchecks developer.
