Hi List,
some time ago ii dropped over the problem that
busybox has only a limited datestring support.
Since i have often to translate between different date time 
representations this is not so helpfull. so I added the -D switch
for date that bypasses the datestr interpreter.
If there is no need for automatic detection it would be possible the 
eliminate the code altogether or replace it with stuff that can not be 
done via strptime() directly. e.g. "last year"," 1 day ago", etc
