Comment:
== Change summary (patch explanation) ==
Added new date format character "E" to cater to specific locales where "F"
is not enough. Updated Russian and Ukrainian translation files to be able
to use the new format.
== Sample usage ==
Format "j E Y" will produce outputs similar to the following:
* in Russian: "5 декабря 2009"
* in Ukrainian: "5 грудня 2009"
Here month names are grammatically correct in genitive instead of
nominative as generated by "F".
== Further actions ==
If the patch is committed I will go ahead and will update documentation. I
will also notify i18n list. Other locales may benefit from this as well (I
know that Polish uses the same grammatical construction for full dates).
