Description

As a cartographer
I would like to select scale bar units independent of base map units
because I need to provide scale bar(s) representing multiple units (e.g. metric and imperial)

Scenario 1: base map units in degrees converted to kilometers
Given a user has a base map with degrees as units
And the user has added a scale bar in print composer
And the scale bar properties have a unit selection section
When the user selects kilometers as the scale bar units
Then the scale bar will display the kilometer value

In QGIS master aka 2.0 is already possible, you can switch the scalebar units between map units, meters and feet.
