Thanks, but I think I'll stick to changes that will not disappear next
time I compile Emacs.
Modifying the functions from the calendar dir was is still my last
resort. As for checking that parse-time is really ok, the real test
would be to encode that value that parse-time gives you and then decode
it back to a string and see that they match.
I'll quote from time-date.el:
;; `parse-time-string' isn't sufficiently general or
;; robust. It fails to grok some of the formats that
;; timezone does (e.g. dodgy post-2000 stuff from some
;; Elms) and either fails or returns bogus values. Lars
;; reverted this change, but that loses non-trivially
;; often for me. -- fx
Nevertheless, thank you for the cool idea and the time you took to
promptly reply.
