I just did a thorough search of the info files and the libraries, and
the only place the 'ecvt()' function is ever mentioned is in the
"Interoperation" node of gcc.inf.  It doesn't appear in the libc
documentation or any of the libraries; I ran a check using "nm *.a |
grep "ecvt" and came up with zilch.

I have never actually heard of this function; can anyone say what it is
for?  ;)
