Note that hardcoding utf-8 is a bad guess here as strftime(3) emits locale
strings, so decoding will easily fail.
I guess, a clean and complete solution (besides re-implementing the whole
thing) would be to resolve each single format character with strftime,
decode according to the locale and re-assemble the result string piece by
piece. Doh!
