I think I once added a parser function that formats dates according to a
user's preferences. It might be called "{{#dateformat}}". You could
possibly steal the code that it uses.

How do you format dates according to user preference

presume it has something to do with DateFormatter
(
http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/classDateFormatter.html), but I'm not 100%
sure how to make use of this class.
The extension I am working on displays, among other things, a last update
time for its data. I want this time to display consistent with user
preferences. Right now I am running (time() - (60*60*4)) through date(),
but I feel this is a very inelegant solution.
