To make things straightforwardly understandable, IMO we need 3 modules:
- strftime-posix, which defines a POSIX compliant strftime(), i.e. which
provides a substitution on mingw.
- strftime-gnu, which defines an strftime() with the same extensions as
documented in glibc, i.e. it provides a substitute on all systems except
glibc,
- strftime-gnu-ext, which provides the nstrftime() function.
The source code (lib/strftime.c) should be mostly unchanged; most work will
go into the autoconf macros.
What do you think?
