Date issues

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Kevin,
   We actually read the format in a strftime call, so we can
really read any format we want.  If you want 4 digit year
support we can put it in very easily.  There is a request
to change the date to an international format (year/mo/da).
If we do that and put in 4 digit years, would that be
a good thing?

I realize there isn't a Y2K issue (Y2038 issue, but... :) ) and that
this issue isn't a bug at all, just a manner of dealing with date. 

The manner it handles dates is consistent with the time structs (which I
didn't realize at first) so I guess nothing really needs to be done. I
still don't like the standard, though. :)
