yeah, granted; I just had to do the patch to show y'all that it fits in
and actually works with the SVN stuff.
Here's my proposal for making it more portable:
- I like your idea of the apr_strptime function. I also agree that it
will be very hard to do all the localization stuff in a
reimplementation of strptime. So apr_strptime should use the native
strptime if available (getting all the localization goodies) or it
should fall back to its own somewhat simpler implementation of strptime
otherwise. No localization, but all the basic features will still
work. I assume we've got SVN guys in close with the APR developers so
that I could get a apr_strptime API committed if written?

- okay, you should do this ASAP, because I don't like the idea of ripping
out gettext for no good reason. You've got two choices: catgets or
gettext. Neither are POSIX, and there are LGPL'ed as well as GPLed
implementations of both. I don't care which, just choose one.

- That's not a problem for my implementation at all. You can have as
many phrase entries as you want. Perhaps you could help me out by
providing all the reasonable Slovenian variants for, let's say, "N
years ago". Romance languages (with which I am most familiar) are nice
in that there are very few noun inflections. Slovanian undoubtedly has
more, but the basic technique should still work: even if Slovanian
has 99 different noun declensions for the numbers 1-99, we can
certainly include the forms for "1 year ago" to "9 years ago" which
should cover the most common cases. I'm not claiming that our parser
will be able to parse any time concept expressible in the language,
just the most useful common ones.

I think you meant 'ngettext', which seems to be a GNU-gettext-only
function. In any case, it's not needed, because the parser is sloppy.
The current parser allows you to say both:
"1 years" and "2 year"
it doesn't care that the nouns don't match. As long as there are a finite
number of plural forms in Slovenian [there are, right? =) ] we can attempt
to match them all.
OK, that's all for now. Off I go to write apr_strptime.
