One question that arise is what format the date variables should have.
 Is the raw format (that is "1278400946 +0200") sensible?

I've created a patch for this locally, but it has some side effects in messing up the dates stored by 'git commit -C...' which I have not figured out yet; and now I need to get some other stuff done. It might take some days until a revised patch is ready. Feel free to contribute your "trivial amount of code" before I get around to it :-)
