Summary: Patches for TIP#132

Initial Comment:
This patch is a partial reference implementation of TIP#132: 
Revised Floating-Point Conversions in Tcl.

At this point, only the output conversion is implemented.

The implementation has been tested only on Windows/VC++6
and Solaris/gcc 2.95.2.  Moreover,  on the Solaris test, the
compilation gets a considerable number of warnings that have
yet to be resolved.

The patches are uploaded here primarily for early evaluation of
portability and critique of the implementation strategy.

Note that dtoa.c is third-party code obtained from
www.netlib.org. When it is committed to CVS, it will
undoubtedly be in patched form, and we should establish
a vendor branch to allow for subsequent reintegration
of any future changes at netlib.

Updated patch to (a) correct a capitalization error in one file
name (sometimes I hate NTFS) and (b) compile on
Linux-Alpha-gcc.
