Details:

In NSDateFormatter.m, the [NSDateFormatter init] method has code that is
called when GS_USE_ICU is enabled.  When run on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu
3.13.0-113-generic), I found that it causes NSDateFormatter to have an invalid
initial dateFormat.  On an Apple system, the initial dateFormat is nil, and
that seems correct for Linux also.  I propose removing this code, which is at
NSDateFormatter.m:113-148 in my source.

Also, the call to udat_open should pass UDAT_PATTERN for the first two
arguments, if the pattern argument is unused.  That is the usage described in
the doc, and I verified that this change fixes another bug I observed.  The
doc is here:

I've attached a diff with both changes.
