[Python-Dev] strftime()

The test_strftime regression test has been failing on the Mac for
ages, and I finally got round to investigating the problem: the
MetroWerks library returns the strings "am" and "pm" for %p but the
regression test expects "AM" and "PM". According to the comments in
the source of the library (long live vendors who provide it! Yeah!)
this is C9X compatibility.

I can of course move the %p to the nonstandard expectations, but maybe 
someone has a better idea?
