Here's the latest bit of code.  This patch is currently UNTESTED,
but I'll test it tomorrow during the day.  It will allow a new
variable in voicemail.conf called "datetime" which is a format
string.  The string currently accepts the following specifiers:
	'any/soundfile'	quoted, in single ticks, the name of a sound
	A			weekday
	B			monthname
	d			day of month
	Y			year
	I (capital i)		hour, in 12-hour format
	M			minute
	p			am or pm
	Q			"digits/today", "digits/yesterday", or
				"ABdY" if neither.
Spaces and tabs are ignored within the string.  The default
string is:
	'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp

The format specifiers, with the exception of Q, are in keeping
with strftime(3), in case you're interested.
