[Magic-dev] Query about 'units microns' statement in tech file extraction

Dear Graham,

When dealing with a development version like 7.5, it is always wise to
distinguish between the "implemented behavior" and the "desired behavior".
In this case, the "desired behavior" would be not to mix microns and
lambda---I just missed the extra conversion factor required by the
sidewall statement.  I will fix this.
