I have used Tom's getdate and it did what I wanted. Unfortunately I
don't know what _we_ want.

It needed some portability poking and that was odd. But it seems to be
very fast and efficient.

How should we rate them against each other? We cannot. One is as
portable as perl, the other is as fast as C. I can't imagine there's a
need for a number three.
