    Done.
    
        [torvalds@g5 git]$ ./test-date "now" "midnight" "high noon" "tea-time"
        now -> bad -> Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969
        now -> Fri Nov 18 08:50:54 2005
    
        midnight -> bad -> Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969
        midnight -> Fri Nov 18 00:00:00 2005
    
        high noon -> bad -> Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969
        high noon -> Thu Nov 17 12:00:00 2005
    
        tea-time -> bad -> Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969
        tea-time -> Thu Nov 17 17:00:00 2005
    
    Thanks for pointing out tea-time.
    
    This is also written to easily extended to allow people to add their own
