Setting default unit of measurement.

README.md

To make sure your lay-outs look pretty much the same on all devices, including the thousands of different Android resolutions and densities, it's always best to use the 'dp' unit. However, typing '10dp' instead of 10 is quite a pain. A pain you can easily take away by changing the default unit in your tiapp.xml.

Raw
app.js
var view = Ti.UI.createView({
width: 100,
height: '100dp' // Is now exactly the same as the previous line
});
Raw
tiapp.xml
<property name="ti.ui.defaultunit" type="string">dp</property>

Would be great if there was something like this for setting the font family too?
