The mere fact that documentation is less accessible on windows should not be
taken as an excuse by programmers to reinvent the wheel as an egg-shaped thingy

Exactly.. (Although with a little butter, garlic and salt eggs are
really good.)
Any programmer worth their salt on Windows knows how to hit the F1 key
and find the proper documentation in any MSVC build environment. If they
are using one of the many Cygwin build environments to cross-compile for
Windows then for production use they should be using the tools provided
with that environment.
At any rate and to try and bring this discussion somewhat back on topic,
strftime makes it trivial to change date formats merely by changing the
format string given as one of its arguments. Any debate regarding
difficulty of change by the vendor is mere smoke being blown into the wind.
Personally, I don't think this is a change that needs to be accommodated
for by the SA developers. They've got enough to do keeping up with
spam-mongers and their evil karma..
