I suspect Formatter will need its own FP-formatting code.

In general I think if a VM class is no longer used from the main body
of Classpath, it is obsolete and should be removed.

Perhaps, but the dtoa implementation we use is really good, and very
flexible.  AFAICS from the definition of Formatter, dtoa does almost
of of what is needed with the exception of hex ouput -- which is
trivial.
