Re: Small patch for more date information

I think nthday is ugly, no offence, I guess it could be done cleaner by
calculating what comes after a number instead.

Something like:

# Get the postfix of the number
th_day = {None:'th', 1:'st', 2:'nd', 3:'rd']
day_digit = int(self['da']) % 10
if th_day.has_key(day_digit): day_digit = None
self['daord'] = self['da'] + th_day[day_digit]

Of course, substitude the variables to a better named one :) I can't
seem to make any better ones.
