Hi Pavel, hackers.

I've done some work updating Pavel's sci notation patch for to_char().
I've attached a patch against HEAD (EEEE_2.diff.bz2) and against
Pavel's patch as originally submitted to the list
(EEEE_1-to-2.diff.bz2).

A summary of my changes:

* Improve the wording of error messages, and add some detail/hint parts.
* Update the documentation.
* Move the duplicated "one digit before decimal point" test into a macro.
* Fix a bug in the int8_to_char() implementation (was using the wrong
variable).

Hope you find this useful.

Cheers,
BJ
