Therefore I have changed all the occurances of atof by asciiToFloat or
asciiToDouble.
I believe that it is safe to do so at least for all the plugins.
Included here are also asciiToFloat conversion of environment variables. One
might argue that these should be locale dependent. But IMO these should be
set and interpreted by osg independent of the current locale.

"Attached is the osg-plugin for reading ply ( Stanford Triangle Format ) file. I have written the plugin according to OSG standard and have also added cmake build system. The plugin is working fine on both Linux and Windows and should behave similarly on other OS as well."
"I developed this plugin while working on a project based on Equalizer. So VertexData which I am using is taken from equalizer and modified to make them work as separate OSG plugin.
Before contributing this plugin to OSG community, I asked project manager of Equalizer project Stefen regarding potential licensing issues and this is what he has said
"The kd-Tree (VertexBuffer*) is LGPL-licensed, and the base ply loader (ply*) is BSD. As long as you leave the copyright notices intact, there is no issue."
so I think using these files in OSG should not be a problem.
As far as author of ReaderWriterPLY.cpp is concerned I am the author. I am working for Darshan3d which is a subsidiary of VizExperts thats why I have put VizExperts copyright."
