[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,
