Oh dear. I'm not a Windows expert. I'll try my best.

I mistakenly left the UDUNITS version 1 interface out of the distribution.

It will be in the next release.

The files are "lib/udunits-1.c" and "lib/udunits.h" if you want to get them
from the GitHub repository.

Odd. You should be able to specify the Expat library to the configure(1)
script via LIBS.

What was the configure(1) command you used?
