Summary: check_http -C produces confusing date

Initial Comment:
The US date format is a joke.  At least your dumb Fahrenheit and gallons are not ambiguous like m/d/y.  It sucks.

The patch attached changes sslutils.c to use the asctime() date format:

WARNING - Certificate expires in 277 day(s) (Mon Sep 10 00:38:00 2011).

instead of

WARNING - Certificate expires in 277 day(s) (10/9/2011 00:38).

Shouldn't one use ISO 8601 date time format with UTC offset instead?

Or at least in ZULU...

btw, I was trying to sound jovial above; I just re-read and it sounded a
bit angry - t'was not my intention.  But the USA date format does suck.
