Currently modification of openmdao units is not easy. Currently the easiest way (AFAIK) is to use import_library method found in the module.

Would it be possible to add mechanism to load different unit definitions without any additional code? Openmdao might have a configuration file similar to matplotlib's matplotlibrc file for defining the location for unitLibDefault.ini, for example.

This way code using openmdao.units would automatically work with non-standard unit definitions.

Also, does the current way of modifying of units work with model saving/loading or remote job execution?
