Configuration file support for date formats

I'm wonder how to proceed on this. As per previous discussion, the
configuration support for the user-definable part of the date was
planned after the config file support was there.

So now it is - and it's time to do the date customization. Just that I
wonder, how?

The function to do conversion to a human representable date is
'svn_time_to_human_nts'. It lives in libsvn_subr. It needs to somehow
get the configuration option that specifies how the date should
look. There's three places atleast where this is called from - the
command line client, svnadmin and svnlook. The command line client is
the most important - I do not know if svnadmin and svnlook should even
use the configuration file.

So, where should parsing happen and how should the results be passed
to the function?

My first idea would be to just read in the config file when entering
the log parsing routine, passing the option in the baton for the log
display function - and then passing it on to svn_time_to_human_nts
somehow and being done with it. But maybe there's a better way?
