strftime(3) for IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 compliance and remove
excessive usage of the 'const' qualifier that was neither
present in the prototype in the publice header, nor in the
local prototype just above the function definition.
- Replace the K&R function definition with a ANSI-C one.
- Update the prototype of strftime(3) in its manual page.
since they not allows POSIXly legal locale data. Currently, if relaxed form
POSIXly legal locale data will be used right now, some programs will be broken,
but it means that either locale data or programs must be fixed, not the library.
Introduce non-standard md_order (month/day order) locale field to be used later
via nl_langinfo(). Currently %EF and %Ef emulated using this field, but they
planned for remove in future in favour of nl_langinfo() test field.
Implement %F per POSIX
strftime(3), add another one. :) %z yields the local timezone's offset
in hours and minutes, as used in RFC822 headers. There's a precedence
for this in Lunux' libc, and Internet software (like Perl scripts)
start using it.

track.
The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$
.\"
If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

The common localization functions between strptime(3) and strftime(3)
have been broken out into timelocal.[ch].
This commit covers the man pages for most of the ANSI library functions.
A few others such as strtol.3 have to mention <sys/types.h> because they
mix ANSI interfaces with less well designed extensions.
from the code in strftime.c . This affects both the library code
and all the commands using it (e.g. date +%s).
Note that %s is not required by ANSI, but we've already got it in 1.1.5.1.
