I want a label in my interface to display a relative time using a "sensible" 
approximate scale depending on the value. I'm not sure if I can use 
NSDateFormatter for this - it seems it's a bit too fixed in using only the 
units you assign.

For example, if the value is less than a minute, it should say "x seconds ago", 
if it's in the range of 1-59 minutes, "x minutes ago", "about an hour ago", "x 
hours ago", "yesterday", "x days ago", "about a week ago", "x weeks ago", 
"about a month ago", "x months ago" - you get the picture. Is this possible 
using NSDateFormatter, or do I have to roll my own for this?
