I don't know why Mike insists on allowing localization, especially
since he's made no attempt to parse Devanagari, Swahili, and Japanese
(the one that bites me ;). All we need to do is set the time format
LC_TIME=C in the environment passed to ls. If we want to substitute
localized output later we can use format-time-string, I think.
For my normal work I tend to use only a fragment of the information
in
a ls-l-listing so a much simpler directory view would suffice for me.
I suspect that would require a substantial rewrite of dired to
accomplish.
On the other hand, going to external systems by means of ssh etc, we
are back again to parsing the output from ls ...
Yup.
