Expiration Value

[Tim White]

The format isn't easily sortable or useable in a SQL compare operation. 
It also requires slightly more work to generate. The simple format of 
"YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" makes more sense to me. It is easily human 
readable, and is also easily machine readable, isn't locale or language 
dependent.

Basically, it means that to do any operations on the table regarding the 
Expiration date, where I only want dates between a range, I have to get 
all dates, and sort them outside of SQL.

I'm not sure if print.c is the right place for this, but I've not had a 
chance to look at the code.
