   There are user date formats, and then sysop orientated date formats, so it    
   will be somewhat involved.  Luckily I can look at my local diffs and see the    
   various places that I've found so far.  I think we could get away with a    
   system default date option that would also be used for html/index creation and    
   newuser signup, and then a user option that can control input/display once    
   they are registered.
