Bug Description

>>> import quantities as pq
>>> q = 1*pq.US_liquid_cup
>>> q.units=pq.tbsp
>>> print q
8.0 tbsp

There's 16 tablespoons in one cup.

I think the problem is volume.py:

gill = US_liquid_gill = UnitQuantity(
    'US_liquid_gill',
    US_liquid_pint/2, ## <-- this should be /4
    symbol='gill',
    aliases=['gills', 'US_liquid_gills']
)
