Date Formatting Support (strftime) for CommonJS + Node.js

===========================================

This CommonJS module provides PHP-style date formatting support (strftime),

to allow you to print javascript dates according to a format specifier.

Based heavily on Philip S Tellis' version for client side javascript.

Tested on node.js. 

Install:

--------

    cd ~/.node_libraries

    git clone git://github.com/loopj/commonjs-date-formatting.git date_format

Basic usage:

-----------

    // Load the module

    var strftime = require("date_format").strftime;

    // Print the current date in mm/dd/yyyy format

    console.log(strftime(new Date(), "%m/%d/%Y"));
