convert hex to floating point equivalent

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 564

similar to feature request 505 but in the opposite direction. I'd like to be able to
take a 32 bit hex or decimal number from my embedded program, e.g. 0x40066666 and have
speedcrunch return the floating point value 2.1.

This is trivial using unions in C/C++. See http://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html
for java & javascript programs that do conversions to/from float/hex/decimal/.
