There are two ways that i know of that you can convert from a float
to a string.

	Float'image  - which is in x.xxxxExx format
	Ada.Float_Text_IO.Put

...but Text_IO is a rather large beast, and many people say
that 'no one ever really uses text_io for _real_ work'.

If this is the case, then how could one portably convert a float
to a string?
