I was looking to get this setup on my Mac, but it appears that the
HISTTIMEFORMAT is a bash 3.0+ feature and my Mac OS X 10.4 only has
2.0 by default.

~ tim$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (powerpc-apple-darwin8.0)

I guess a port is available here, http://bash.darwinports.com/, but I
haven't tried that yet.  Anyway, something to consider for the docs.

Thanks,

Tim
