bbd3aeb6e1 Try to clean the manpage up according to the mail from Sheldon
in committers (Message-Id: <72836.964344168@axl.ops.uunet.co.za>).

Also cleaned up a .Pq macro which was causing problems previous
to the original update I made.

45c2f34531 Expand the -r option to support hex. Though undocumented, the -r
option already supported octal. Add a comment to the -r option
in the man page so it's a bit more specific.

7b1fd92a4d As per request by sheldonh and others on IRC, seperate language and mdoc
fixes (very important in this case).  Version 1.40 should be discarded.

This version includes the language diffs.  To receive them, use
cvs diff [-u] -r 1.39 -r 1.41

80ee25f437 the month and three days are up for -hackers and the 24hrs for -committers.
add a -j flag that tells date not to try to set the date.  This allows you
to use date as a userland interface to strptime.

example:
TZ=GMT date -j -f "%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z" "Sun, 08 Nov 1998 02:22:20 GMT" +%s

which is the standard format for Last-modified headers in HTTP requests.
