mod_php & strftime

The pure native version of mod_php from php.net (for use with the native
Win32 Apache) supports the (fairly common) %#* extensions in strftime, for
example:

   strftime("%d %B", $d) returns "09 November"
   strftime("%#d %B", $d) returns "9 November"

The cygwin version doesn't:

   strftime("%#d %B", $d) returns "d November"

To get the same effect one needs to do something like:

   $dtm = getdate($d);
   strftime("%A " . $dtm['mday'] . " %B %Y", $d)

Which is really grotty.
