variant types

Poi does not suppot Variant.VT_R8 data type
(org.apache.poi.hpsf.TypeReader in release,
org.apache.poi.hpsf.VariantSupport on cvs). 
This type is offen used for properties in ms word documents.
Can anybody resolve this bug?

I can do that if someone tells me how values are stored bitwise in such
a field. A link to some documentation would be nice.

I just submitted a patch for VT_R8 support to the POI CVS (and a
testcase, of course). Please cross-check if it works for you, too!
