I find itoa not as clear about signedness as stoa, but if you insist, I dont 
feel strongly about it.

Argh. That should have never gotten into the patch. I was playing around with 
another optimization which would have needed more buffer space (but was quite a 
 
bit slower).

Hm. 

        while(bufstart < buf){
                char swap = *bufstart;
                *bufstart++ = *buf;
                *buf-- = swap;
        }

Is a bit cleaner maybe, but I dont see much point in putting it into its own 
function... But again, I don't feel strongly.

Will clean up.
