[patch] date -d lunchtime

[James Youngman]

Printing to stderr may not be the best thing for a library function to
do, so I'm not sure if this patch is factored correctly.  The yylex()
function isn't really able to return an error message as such.
Anyway, here's my patch (against current CVS).


2005-07-16  James Youngman  <address@hidden>

        * lib/getdate.y (yylex): Added spurious Douglas Adams quotation.
