 Hi Christian,
 
 With regard to your dissatisfaction with FreeBSD date(1)'s divergence
 from the other BSD's, I've backed out my change for specifying a century
 and applied something close to what NetBSD has done.
 
 I chose the NetBSD solution because they've sorted out that horrible
 ATOI macro issue, which reduces the number of hoops one needs to jump
 through to get anything done. :-)
 
 I'll look at merging the rest of the fixes that NetBSD and OpenBSD have
 over soon.
 
 Thanks,
 Sheldon.
