We found a number of places where dates where displayed as %m/%d/%Y 
rather than %Y-%m-%d (or %d/%m/%Y if that is what you prefer). I think 
that this is what you are referring to here.

I attach the mhonarc_rc.tt2 that we use: I am afraid that it is quite 
long, although a diff against the vanilla file should show exactly what 
I have changed. You are looking for comments of the form:

<!-- DPC: Replace %m/%d/%Y with %Y-%m-%d -->

or:

<!-- DPC: Replace %m/%d/%Y with %Y-%m-%d (x3) -->

Hope that this helps.
