[commit-cp] [bugs #11691] java.util.Date toString() output should be localized

[Andrew John Hughes]

Follow-up Comment #1, bugs #11691 (project classpath):

Further, it seems that all three (toString(), toGMTString, toLocaleString())
are wrong.  At least, they don't match the JDK results.

Note that the locale for the following is en_GB.

>From JDK 1.5:
toString(): Mon Mar 28 16:19:33 BST 2005
toGMTString(): 28 Mar 2005 15:19:34 GMT
toLocaleString(): Mar 28, 2005 4:19:34 PM

>From Classpath/JamVM:
toString(): Mon Mar 28 15:15:50 GMT 2005
toGMTString(): 28/03/2005 15:15
toLocaleString(): 28/03/2005 15:15

None of the later make use of the local timezone (BST, the DST variant of
GMT).  When this bug was filed, the local timezone was GMT, so these
differences were not as clear.
