Clean-room implementation of Double::toString(double) and Float::toString(float)

[Raffaello Giulietti]

Thanks Mark,

in your position as the Chief Architect, Java Platform Group at Oracle, 
I take yours as the most authoritative answer I've got so far.

Tomorrow I should find the time to finally upload the code.

Thanks to everybody who kindly replied to this thread.

Greetings
Raffaello
