Date format patch

"tcpdump -tttt" prints date in "MM/DD/YYYY" format. This must be
rather uncomfortable for non-English users (It was for me). So I cooked 
up a patch to util.c using setlocale() and strftime().

Again, I've no idea how to apply this change to the configure process
(testing for setlocale(), locale.h etc). config.h needs these defines
to make use of national date-format:
  HAVE_LOCALE, HAVE_LOCAL_H and HAVE_STRFTIME.

Patch attached.

PS. How come the tcpdump 3.7.2 release have several older files?
The tcpdump-current from last month has several files that are newer
(in terms of CVS version, but not file-version) than the release dated 
Febr 27. Example:

diff -u3 -H -B -r tcpdump-2003.02.20/addrtoname.c tcpdump-3.7.2/addrtoname.c
--- tcpdump-2003.02.20/addrtoname.c Sat Oct  5 19:19:24 2002

Note the released file is newer (Feb 26 06:07:14 2003), but has an older
CVS version (1.83). Very confusing.
