Log Message:
A hogshead is defined in the U.S. to be 63 gallons, and otherwise refers
to a volume unit of varying capacity (betwen 63 and 140(!)) gallons.

Since the U.S. is the only place it is defined, and I can find little
evidence to support the "barrel" definition, make it 63 gallons.

Like everything, this was prompted by the Simpsons.

"The metric system is a tool of the devil!  My car gets 40 rods to the
 hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!"
