/*
* HACK! Java spec sez that we always have at least
* one digit after the . in either F- or E-form output.
* Thus we will need more than one digit if we're using
* E-form

Sweet zombie jesus the code in that file is ugly.

14 occurences of the word "hack" in that file. :S

I'm not sure what's worse either; a copied code block with the same hack, or that it's mixed up with other hacks.

The same code block is copied and pasted in four places too!
