Summary: Need locale arg to strftime()

Initial Comment:
strftime()'s behavior is dependant on your current locale.  Sometimes 
this is undesireable, such as when parsing HTTP dates (RFC 2068, 
3.3.1), where on is expected to create and parse dates using English 
month and week names.

A similar problem exists with the lower() string method.

In either case locale magic isn't always desirable, and it would be 
useful to add a locale argument to specify which locale to use.
