Re: emerge log time range

Now, I've never done anything with perl before, so this is almost
certainly ugly, and it also seems pretty crappy performance wise, but
what about these changes to emerge/applydate?  I just use strftime to
convert the seconds since epoch to a regular time format since
TimeFilter doesn't handle the '%s' correctly.  I could be looking at
the completely the wrong way though, so if there's a better way I'd be
willing to look into it.
