after much to-ing and fro-ing, i've got this installed, and i've updated
the catalogue repository accordingly. thanks for the upload (and the
tolerance while i struggled with the failures!).
Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/siunitx.html
or browse the package's directory at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/siunitx/
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

siunitx – A comprehensive (SI) units package
Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the
combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination
is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a
consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be used.
However, different countries and publishers have differing
conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units). A
number of LaTeX packages have been developed to provide consistent
application of the various rules:
SIunits,
sistyle,
unitsdef and
units are the leading examples. The
numprint package provides a large
number of number-related functions, while
dcolumn and
rccol provide tools for typesetting
tabular numbers.
The siunitx package takes the best from the existing packages, and
adds new features and a consistent interface. A number of new
ideas have been incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing
provision. The package also provides backward-compatibility with
SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one
package to handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX
users.
The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the
l3kernel and
l3packages bundles.
