I feel strongly that the date entry shouldn't violate pola and be
consistant with the rest of the system.

I have a hack that does what I consider to be the right thing (namely
using the date < 50 years from now), but it is inconsistant with date,
which uses the 69 date as a pivot.

	if (lt->tm_year < 69)		/* hack for 2000 ;-} */
		lt->tm_year += 100;

Obviously the person making this hack new it was, well, a hack.
However, to be consistant I'll change my hack to be the same.
