How do I format a floating point number 
correctly in ocaml, with a given _variable_
width and precision?

I can't find a routine in the library for this.
Shouldn't there be one? Did I miss it?

--
sprintf is not suitable, the format string
must be a literal. string_of_float has
no arguments, and it gives the wrong format
if the number happens to be integral.
I need to write a 'printf' like routine.

It's relatively easy to write an integer formatting
routine, but floats are somewhat more difficult.
