A 3rd alternative would be to set the locale to en_US during the the
sprintf() calls, but that would mean a lot of locale switching back and
forth inside the methods. Not less ugly either.
A 4th would be to use a class method sprintf() that replaces /%\.\df/ with
F if necessary.

I think the constant is the best solution, it has to be prefixed though,
e.g. FILE_PDF_FLOAT, but that would make a lot of ugly code. 4) is
probably the most elegant solution.
