great!

something like that. I can think of 3 options right now:

a) converting to days and hours (current behavior)
b) keeping the unit typed
c) converting to the highest level

if I have a 5 weeks task, a) should return 35 days, b) 5 weeks, and c)
should return 1 month and 1 week

It might be worth to have a config file (~/.mrprojectrc) to set these
options/variables while implementing/testing, so you don't have to
worry about menus and stuff :-))

cheers,

Pedro
