date <-> day-number software sought

Here's a string->tm converter that I wrote quite some time ago
that takes several forms of date input and heuristically tries
to figure out what it might be, more or less inspired by TOPS-20
(handles more date formats I think.)
This is what date(1) should have been built out of!
It's just one file, the comments should be enough to figure out
what is going on (very simple to interface, probably hairy to
modify tho.) Put it into a file called gdate.c
