[O] [TaskJuggler][Poll] Support for the new effort durations?

The Effort property previously had no unit attached. With release 7.5 of
orgmode you can now attach units to it such as 4h, 2d or 2m. The
taskjuggler exporter however doesn't support this feature yet. It
currently assumes that if is simply a number that we are talking about
days. If the format is something like 5:30 it assumes that the effort is
in hours:minutes. It has no support for other formats (weeks, months
which taskjuggler itself would support).

Now I suppose the exporter should honor the new effort durations that
were introduced in 7.5. This is not that hard to change. However this
would mean that existing orgmode files will be exported differently,
i.e. the change is not backwards compatible.

At the moment I do not know how to deal with this. Should I just move to
the new effort durations and ask the user to upgrade their orgmode files
or more specifically to upgrade their effort properties to the new
effort durations format?

Thoughts?

Thanks
Christian
