thanks for reporting -- forgot to update those scripts
when removing the special case 'date -m' hack.

for context: git needs RFC2822 date formats for
patch generation and such; 'date -m' was added
to support this, but this and fixing seconds(1)
made me realize how many crappy date parsers were
kicking around the system, so we fixed the apis
in libc and gave those parsers and formatters
the boot in 9front.

this was cleaning up the straggling special case
in date.
