Here is a patch that adds support for locales to the tz package's
strftime function and date command. For example, if the LC_TIME
environment variable is set to "de", `date' will output something like
`Montag, 9. Mai 1994, 02:59:54 Uhr PDT' instead of the usual
`Mon May 9 02:59:54 PDT 1994'.
The locale files are in /usr/lib/locale, using the same format as in
Solaris 2.3 (which I assume is fairly standard, at least among SVR4-ish
hosts). If locale files are absent or are not of the proper form,
traditional behavior is assumed. I invented a strftime format `%+',
which expands to the default format used by `date'; this makes it
easier to put all the locale-relevant stuff in strftime.c, and also
lets the user type fun commands like `date "+|%+|"'.
This patch also extends strftime to use the format "%c" if its format
argument is (char*)0; this is the documented behavior in Solaris 2.3.
This patch assumes the Posix/GCC cleanup patch I sent a while back.
