I have to deal with a web server that returns dates with a two
digit year field. Debugging output from htdig version 3.1.4
looks like this:

    Header line: Last-modified: Thursday, 06-Jan-00 00:12:52 GMT
    Translated Thursday, 06-Jan-00 00:12:52 GMT to 06 Jan 1900 00:12:52 (0)
    And converted to Wed, 31 Dec 1969 23:59:59 ^^^^
                                                         bogosity

I know the web server is broken, but I'm not in a position to fix it.
Hope the following patch to strptime.cc will help others in the
same situation.
