Unfortunately, the current version of the C programming language
standard provides in the strftime() function no means to generate the
ISO 8601 week notation....
Does c-common.c and/or the strftime in version 2.0 of glibc address
these points?
Recent betas of the glibc strftime have support for the following
formats, with the same meaning as the tz strftime.c:
%G ISO 8601 4-digit year
%g ISO 8601 2-digit year
%V ISO 8601 2-digit week
%u ISO 8601 1-digit weekday
The next public glibc release should have this. The tz patch for
c-common.c (understandably) hasn't caught up with this yet.
