FYI, strftime() [1] doesn't say anything about capitalization. I don't
know if some translators are aware of it and even if they are, how would
they know that a day or month is the first word of a sentence? IMHO we
should provide Xxxxx, xxxxx, and XXXXX so the programmer can use
whatever he/she thinks is correct for him/her.
