After review, the patch is either unneeded or incomplete.

The two lines above actually already allow to set a date externally. I
don't see the need to add a new variable.

Another problem is that the date given here will be copied straight to
the output when the default is to use a translated version of “January 1,
2015” (see `pretty_date` in `T2h_i18n.pm`). I guess it would make sense
to add an extra variable if it would be then use to replace the
`localtime` call in `pretty_date`.
