Details:

On Mac OS X, when you call -description on a dictionary that contains
NSCalendarDate objects, it respects the calendar format set for the object.
When you do the same with gnustep-base, you get a standard timestamp instead.
The reason is that we have proper support for NSDate in ASCII property lists
:-) So I'm not quite sure whether we want to modify our behaviour to match the
OS X implementation, since it would mean that we'd have to have a special case
in GSPropertyListMake() just for this. (Also, when writing XML plists, Cocoa
will disregard the calendar format set for the object as well).
