I trivially advised insert-diary-entry to help me deal with the
multiple diary files I #include.

(defadvice insert-diary-entry (around insert-in-alternate-file first (arg
                                      altfile) activate)
  (interactive "P\nfFile: ")
  (let ((diary-file altfile)
        (calendar-date-display-form
         '((format "%02s/%02s/%4s" month day year))))
    ad-do-it))

I don't recall why I need to set calendar-date-display-form in the
let and I don't feel like breaking things to jog my memory.
