Hello,

in case the title was too cryptic, the attached patch lets you specify
your own time/date format when calling (format-time-string), with
default to `*format-time-string-default*', i.e. "%a %b %e %k:%M:%S %Y"
(this is the same value used before my patch).

Since I wanted to mimic `date` behavior, I implemented all the `date`
format options in `*format-time-string-alist*', except some I don't
think are useful.  These ones are commented out in the alist
declaration.  If required, I can try to implement them as well.

My first working version was a bit different and then the patch was
reviewed by Luigi Panzeri (matley), so he deserves some credits.

Hope you like the patch :-)

Hi Luca,

I think the patch is great! I put it in CVS and added both of you
to the AUTHORS file. Thanks!
