Adjustable distance for the range ruler

The range ruler is currently hardcoded to 1" = 5'. While this is easy to work around, it'd be convenient if you could adjust the conversion. In specific I was thinking of GURPS, where a one-inch (by convention) hex is one yard, but I'm sure many other systems would appreciate this.
Yep, Shadowrun uses metric. Not that it's hard to do the conversions.
I want to support Michael Malus suggestion. Because it's a good idea for handling different rpg systems, and because I'm a GURPS game master as well :-) I also know of players of Traveller that like to customize range rulers' units from foots to parsecs -allowing yards and miles and more in the middle. For instance, a units-customizable range ruler allowing miles is very useful for handling travels of the party in "overland area maps" (in contrast with "encounter-tactical maps").
Thanks for the suggestion and use-cases. Overhauling the measurement tool is on the development roadmap. Included in the re-work will be custom units of measurement.
