new date formats/input field for custom date formats [#28901]

There should be more date formats available.

here is a list just to fulfill the german rules (DIN 5008)...
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datumsformat

15.08.2005 - 14:47
 --> d.m.Y - H:i
15.08.05 - 14:47
 --> d.m.y - H:i
15. Aug. 2005 - 14:47
 --> j. M. 2005 - H:i

Mo. 15.08.2005 - 14:47
 --> D. d.m.Y - H:i
Mo. 15.08.05 - 14:47
 --> D. d.m.y - H:i
15. August 2005 - 14:47
 --> j. F Y - H:i

Montag, 15. August 2005 - 14:47
 --> l, j. F Y - 14:47

this patch provides the new formats...

I think it would be great to introduce three additional textfields where the user can customize the date-field by himself
Because it is much work to include _every_ countries special dateformats

what do YOU think about it?

This should be fixed with a proper date locale mechanism, not by adding in every possible format out there.

It should not be too difficult to create a input box where you can set custom date formats, just with the PHP Syntax.
Everyone could then either choose one of the predefined formats or enter a custom one ...
