trekking, compute sum of weight of items, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay

[Emanuel Berg via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor]

<incal> I have now compiled a list of 18 items, and wrote
        some Elisp to sum the weight, it is already at
        7.4 kg. I think 10 kg is some sort of practical,
        physical, and/or psychological maximum

<incal> PS. when Edmund Hillary made the 8335-8500 meter
        climb on his way to the top of Mt. Everest, together
        with Tenzing Norgay in 1953, they each carried
        23-28 kg. it was -27C and the inclination 30-45
        degrees


I yank the file here ... Elisp last! The problem with
`digits-sum' is that you can't use digits anywhere else,
that's why I put the sum converted to Roman Numerals,
otherwise, the next time you do the count, the sum will be
included as well! (Another way to do this, is to include
a unit, grams or g in this case, without a whitespace - some
people like to do that anyway (exclude the whitespace), so
why not? e.g. 8000mAh and 7383g.) anyway:
