+1 for now, but I'm more interested in seeing the code go in than what
format to use. I'm also +1 on "2002-06-23 11:13:02 +0300"

And I'll note that apr_rfc822_date() generates the above format, with a
4-digit year, and a hard-coded 'GMT' for the timezone.

It really ought to say UTC, but hey.

It appears that apr-util's apr_date_parse_rfc() will parse this format,
including the +/- HHMM timezone information.
