Have a look at parse-time.el (written by Erik Naggum), which is
included in the Gnus distribution.  It uses no regexps to handle date
parsing, and it's faster than the timezone functions.  It doesn't
understand ISO8601 dates yet, though.

Gnus doesn't use this yet, but will probably start using it instead of
timezone in Quassia Gnus.
