This now always calls gettimeofday, whereas the original approxidate
only did if parse_date failed.

I think you could also make this patch much smaller by just wrapping the
whole function and using a '0' sentinel for "you need to fill in the
time." Like:

---
diff --git a/date.c b/date.c
index 409a17d..b084d19 100644

 		diff = now.tv_sec - time;

On the other hand, refactoring the relative date code into its own
function is probably a good thing in the long run.
