Created an attachment (id=6159)

show what the 'no preference' time looks like; use current time, not 2001; show
server date too

This patch that achieves all of my goals.

The only question I have left is what should we do when in some
languages, like uselang=en, the "No preferences" item is the same as one
of the other choices:

Date and time Date format

  (*) 09:14, 27 May 2009 (No preference)
  ( ) 09:14, May 27, 2009
  ( ) 09:14, 27 May 2009
  ( ) 09:14, 2009 May 27
  ( ) 2009-05-27T09:14:50

That might be rather confusing to the user.
Should we make the duplicate disappear from the choices?

If you were a wristwatch store owner, would you freeze all your wares on
your birthday, or use the current time?
And try using uselang=zh-tw, uselang=ko, or uselang=ja. Such users are
forced to calculate in their heads if 2001 and their local date match or
not.
