[darcs-devel] [issue2127] The default date output on Windows Vista with Polish locale is half English half Polish

[Adam Wolk]

New submission from Adam Wolk <netprobe at gmail.com>:

The default output from darcs changes for dates is "Fri Jan 13 21:01:56 
\140rodkowoeuropejski czas stand. 2012" on MS Windows Vista with Polish default locale.

The name of the day and the month is in English but part of the date string is in Polish 
meaning Central European Standard Time.

Please stick to one language in the date string.

Results of a small test that I did on request by Heffalump using ghci.
