I would hve no problem with stripping out the whole australian timezone
stuff, if only the following would work:
# date --date='6 april 2002 12:00 AEST'
date: invalid date april 2002 12:00 AEST'
# date --date='6 april 2002 12:00 ACST'
date: invalid date april 2002 12:00 ACST'
# date --date='6 april 2002 12:00 ADST'
date: invalid date april 2002 12:00 ADST'
# date --date='6 april 2002 12:00 EST'
Sun Apr 7 03:00:00 EST 2002
What timezone should we be using?
