It turns out to be very very difficult to make Dired properly handle
all the kinds of dates that it can encounter. A few years ago I
concluded it was ill-advised to make further changes, because changes
here had a tendency to fix some cases and break others. What makes it
so hard is the need to detect the dates *and* handle file names with
spaces in them.
