Hmm...
owlib is written in C, and needs a fixed data size (string size) for
floating point output. I arbitrarily used 12 characters and the %g printf
format to be most general.
Currently type (floating point, integer...) and certainly precision aren't
part of the ownet messages. If we really want it, I'd create a new ownet
message type (extended_read perhaps) that carried more information about
it's data type.
We are only using 7 of the 2^32 available message types
http://www.owfs.org/index.php?page=owserver-message-types
but any change would still leave issues with backwards compatibility.

Here is a little patch that seems to fix it. It would actually be nice if
the owlib returned a decimal point on all temperatures, even those with
integer values, and with enough trailing zeroes to indicate the precision of
the measurement.
