One thought is to provide the GNU folks with code to support a compilie-time
option that checks strftime arguments and warns about warn about two-digit-year format specifications (along the lines of the checking now done of printf and
scanf formats).

Another thought is to set up strftime to warn about two-digit-year format
specifications if a sufficiently obscurely named environment variable is
present.

Does anyone know of prior art in these (or other) areas?
