Then you have *no way* to format portably a 'long date'... some MSVC
uses %#x or something similar,

I don't know about chinese but japanese people use something like
2010(ideogram for year) 06(ideogram for month) 01(ideogram for day)

So the problem would apply anyway...

The 'best' way I can think of, since there is no locale information
about the structure of a long date, is to put somewhere in the
preferences the strfdate(3) string to use for the cartouche.
