This is needed so that 'ls -l' can output a date format suitable for the 
current locale.  These formats aren't part of glibc and so are not in 
glibc's LC_TIME information.  The default formats for the C locale are 
"%b %e  %Y" for older files and "%b %e %H:%M" for newer files, but the 
formats differ in other locales (e.g., Dutch uses "%e %b" instead of "%b 
%e").
