[reSIProcate] representing qvalues as integers instead of floats

Hi,

I just checked in some code in ParserBuffer.cxx that parses a q-value 
and returns an integer between 0 and 1000.  Some examples:

q-val		integer
1		1000
1.0		1000
1.00		1000
1.000	1000
0.0		0
0.00		0
0.000	0
0.8		800
0.80		800
0.05		50
0.050	50
0.001	1

I think it would be a good idea to migrate the q parameter to this type 
instead of the float type.  Some folks have pointed out that using a 
float for a q-value results in the gratuitous addition of floating 
point code to platforms that may not otherwise "need" it.

thoughts?

thanks,
