PD uses odd units for voltages and currents.  Power too, but we don't
work with power (yet).  In the shell, we have to convert to and from
these odd units.  We had been doing this in-place every time, which was
a bit crumby.  Now it's done with macros in pd.h, making prettier and
more maintainable code.

There are still a few things that the standard says we Shall do and we
don't, but it Works For Me™.  I haven't implemented anything with
regards to GiveBack support, but that doesn't matter just yet.  Our
handling of VDMs isn't quite right either.  Anyway, it successfully
negotiates with so-called Split PDO power supplies, which is more than I
can say about some commercial products.
