Right. There are two options for that:

1. Use strftime's "%c" specifier:

       %c     The  preferred  date  and  time  representation  for the current
              locale.

2. Provide a user option (e.g. an environment variable) which
specifies an strftime() format string, falling back to #1 if the
variable (etc) is unset.
