Re: [RP] [PATCH] Added contrib/ratdate.sh and updated Makefile.am

[Rob Paisley]

Below is a more correct version of the ratdate.sh patch, including copyright,
license, and removal of non-portable calls to cal and tail.

Note that the :alnum: ctype(3) is used to remove highlighting of today's date
with versions of cal which do that.
