 Hey,

 I'm not sure how to use mailing lists so:
 Can you please add a function that returns the 3 letter string referring
 to the month name. This code does it, but is inefficient:

 {{{
 namespace bG = boost::gregorian
 std::string getMonthName(bG::date date)
 {
         string temp = bG::to_simple_string(date);
         return (temp.substr(5, 3));
 }
 }}}
 I think this is an important function. It could also be called
 "get_month_name()"


 Also can you add something that converts the date to a std::string to the
 US date system. i.e. 2008-12-23 -> "Dec 12th, 2008" or (US short form)
 "12/23/2008"
