Summary:                    [patch] add option to configure locale for date/time
string construction
Description: 
Hi!

When voicemail sends emails it constructs the date/time when the
voicemessage was received. This patch allows to configure the locale for
generation of the string.

locale=de_AT.UTF-8 results in

"Montag, 26 Jänner 2009" instead of "Monday, 26 January 2009".

This could also be achieved setting the default OS locale - but this would
also change the locale of all other date/time strings in Asterisk
(logmesage, CDRs...) which can be bad.

I have ported my new patch (using newlocale) to trunk. Meanwhile I found
out that trunk has an ast_strftime function. Maybe it would be better to
extend these function with an additional parameter "char *locale" which can
be used by all modules. Of course this requires to call the newlocale()
function for every request whereas having it in voicemail.c allows to call
newlocale() only once during module load.
