That's a mug's game: I've been there and tried it (not in Scheme). I recommend writing a strftime in Scheme from scratch. It's not that hard; the most annoying thing is getting into the locale files to handle the locale-sensitive directives (month name, weekday name, AM/PM, and the ordering of dates).
