Hi,

I'm need to write a method which outputs a supplied Date object in a 
"human-friendly" format (e.g. "5 minutes ago", "3 hours ago", "4 days ago" etc)

My initial impulse was to sit down and sub-class DateTool, adding a method that 
compares the supplied date to the current date and so on ... 

... In the interests of DRY: has anyone here already done anything like this or 
got tips/tricks?

Chris
