I don't really like the duplication of the data and code.  I would
rather see virDoubleToStr move to virstring (it can be called
virStrFromDouble if some don't like the move), it is called from one
place anyway and that way it can share some of the code and data at
least.

I apologize for asking you for yet another version (and possibly
splitting it into two patches -- the move and the fix), but I haven't
notice in the previous submission.

Have a nice day,
Martin
