Fwd: [STUMP] [PATCH] Allow access to time without invoking external date

[Matt Spear]

Sorry, wasn't clear.  I wanted to have:
(setf *screen-mode-line-format*
     (list "[^B%n^b] %W ^> [%b] ^3*"
           '(:eval (stumpwm:time-format "%a %m/%e/%Y %I:%M%p"))))

so that I didn't have to invoke any external programs in the modeline
update.  I've included the patch for fixing the time.lisp to use the
new function.

Cheers, and thanks!!!
