I fixed this.
I also moved in convert_to_biu.h the function DMils2iu( int dmils ),
and added a new function Mils2iu( int mils ),
because we have *a lot* of constant values (in decimil and sometimes mils)
 in constructors and dialogs we need to convert to new units.
I am thinking all these values should be converted using one of these functions, and never assigned
using something like:
#if defined( USE_PCBNEW_NANOMETRES )
    ...
#else
    ...
#endif

So if we have issues with nanometers, it will be more easy later to modify pcbnew.

Also these functions could be useful in Cvpcb and Gerbview (in export to pcbnew functions)
