Note that all programs that already link with glib (this includes all gtk
programs) do not need to reinvent the wheel: they can use glib's 
g_ascii_strtod(). 

The downside is that you have to go through all the code and change all 
conversions between floating-point and text that are affected (not the 
user interface ones). Besides that, it can become more complex for
things like writing to file, since there is no locale independent
variant of fprintf.
