date_format question

Hello again.  I had suggested the possibility of adding an offset to the
date_format modifier.  Messju suggested using setlocale(), which I agree wit
h
in principle, but I'm having trouble finding the definitive way to use
setlocale() so that it works on the widest possible range of servers.  (See
http://us2.php.net/setlocale)

Could I get a yes or no on whether the offset could be added to the date_for
mat
modifier?  Seems to me it wouldn't hurt you if you chose to use setlocale(),
but it would help you a lot if you didn't.

If it's "no", could I please get some help generating a good drop-down list 
for
input to setlocale()?

Thanks!

cheers,

Travis
