numfmt: a sample program which displays number formatting in C and C++

This sample demonstrates
         Formatting a number
         Outputting text in the default codepage to the console
         
Files:
    main.cpp                   Main source file in C++
    capi.c                     C version 
    util.cpp                   formatted output convenience implementation
    util.h                     formatted output convenience header

To Build on Windows
    1.  Install and build ICU
    2.  In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\numfmt\numfmt.dsw
    3.  Choose a Debug or Release build.
    4.  Build.
	
To Run on Windows
    1.  Start a command shell window
    2.  Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
            set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
        (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
    3.  cd into the numfmt directory, e.g.
            cd c:\icu\source\samples\numfmt\debug
    4.  Run it
            numfmt

To Build on Unixes
    1.  Build ICU.  numfmt is built automatically by default unless samples are turned off.
        Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
        using the --prefix option.  The steps to build ICU will look something
        like this:
           cd <icu directory>/source
           runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
           gmake all
           
    2.  Install ICU, 
           gmake install
 
    3.  Compile
           cd <icu directory>/source/samples/numfmt
           gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory)
           
 To Run on Unixes
           cd <icu directory>/source/samples/numfmt
           
           gmake ICU_PREFIX=<icu install directory>  check
               -or- 

           export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
           numfmt
           
           
 Note:  The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
        If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
        the variable that is used there.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
        for Linux and Solaris.
