Here it is! Since my attempt to convert the world to the cool
measuring sytem we use here in Kansas has apparently failed, I've made
the metric version of TapeMeasure.

I believe the screen pixels on the Palm is calibrated in 10ths or
100ths or even 1000ths of an INCH, not a metric grid. The centimeter
marks on MetricMeasure are fairly accurate, however the ticks in
between (which are supposed to register every 2mm) are not. You can
see this at the mark before the 1cm and 3cm. I had to manually back
off my algorithm one pixel to get these cm marks to be more accurate.

Anyways, it should work for what it was intended, a quick idea of a
short length, not caliper-type accuracy.
