- * Update, 2003-11-09:
- * Joseph S. Myers, a gcc dude, fixed this for gcc 3.4!  Rock on!
- *
- * It may not be my place to do this, but...
- * I feel pretty strongly that the "last 2 digits" warning is ridiculously 
- * stupid, and should not exist for % switches (%x in our case) that request 
- * a year in the preferred representation for the current locale.  For that 
- * reason I've chosen to not use this workaround (n., see kluge).
- *
- * I have a date.  I want to show it to the user in the "preferred" way.  
- * Whether that displays a 2 digit year is perfectly fine--after all, it's 
- * what the locale wanted.
- * 
- * If I have a necessity for a full representation of the year in the current 
- * locale, then I'll use a switch that returns a full representation of the 
- * year.
- *
- * If you think the preferred locale should show 4 digits instead of 2 digits 
- * (because you're anal, or whatever), then change the f***ing locale.
- *
- * I guess the bottom line is--I'm trying to show a date to the user how they 
- * prefer to see it, why the hell does gcc want me to change that?
- *
