Comment:
"cal" blindly truncate the (correct) string returned by strftime.
I'm not sure what to do, fixing this properly requires use of wchar
strings, and I'm not sure we can use them with gcc2 and our old glibc.
We should use wcsftime() to format the days in unicode, and grab 2 unicode
chars (not 2 bytes) from that. Or find a way to get 2-letter names for the
days in a better way.
One solution would be to rewrite cal into C++ and use the Locale Kit and
BString. Code could be simpler.
