So it appears ANSI strftime does not allow for localising the year when
using '%Y'. However, I think for now, having the A.D. year displayed is
better than '%Ey' and a batch of warnings on the console. I'll revert it
in CVS until we have a decent solution.

Still not sure whether this _is_ an eel bug, or just a deficiency in the
ANSI spec? Anyone else have any ideas? Maybe nautilus will have to use
an extended strftime implementation?
