The third alternative is just add -startdate and -enddate from ca util
and direct people to the `date` application if they want relative
dates, e.g.:

date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%SZ' -d '2 hours ago'
date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%SZ' -d '1 month 12 hours'

Not applicable to all platforms, but (I'd guess) easiest to implement
and providing most freedom.
