sdate works like fakeroot (on which its code is based) by setting LD_PRELOAD to a wrapper library.

Programs compatible with sdate
- Mutt: works. It will send out septemberfied Date: headers. Depends if you like that.
- xclock: works.
- GNU date: works somewhat. date does not fully rely on strftime but does some of the work on its own (for whatever reason) and chokes sometimes.
- Please tell me your experiences with sdate so I can add the programs to this list.
