Hm. Still leaves the fact that vfs_parse_ls_lga() should be capable to
distinguish between 3 and 4 field dates. This would require a rewrite of
that function to distinguish between 3 and 4 field dates. Not trivial.

The easier approach probably is to filter the output of ar through sed
and get rid of the time field (simple but somewhat destructive) or to
get rid of either the time field or the year field based on the current
year...
