Is there some reason we can't incorporate a suitable open source
implementation of strftime into the Python core?  Here's one example that
might provide a suitable starting point (BSD 4.4, then Tcl, then Apple
heritage):

It would probably need some tweaks for Windows, and some changes to the
macro usage.  Then there is the 1900 base year issue.  I'm certainly no
licensing expert, but it seems like we should be able to redistribute it.
