/**
* Formats the date in the given format, much like strfmt()
*
* This function is used to alleviate the problem with 32-bit numbers for
* dates pre 1970 or post 2038, as strfmt() has on most systems.
* Most of the formatting options are compatible.
*
* Formatting options:
* <pre>
* %a abbreviated weekday name (Sun, Mon, Tue)
* %A full weekday name (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday)
* %b abbreviated month name (Jan, Feb, Mar)
* %B full month name (January, February, March)
* %d day of month (range 00 to 31)
* %e day of month, single digit (range 0 to 31)
* %E number of days since unspecified epoch (integer)
* (%E is useful for passing a date in a URL as
* an integer value. Then simply use
* daysToDate() to convert back to a date.)
* %j day of year (range 001 to 366)
* %m month as decimal number (range 1 to 12)
* %n newline character (\n)
* %t tab character (\t)
* %w weekday as decimal (0 = Sunday)
* %U week number of current year, first sunday as first week
* %y year as decimal (range 00 to 99)
* %Y year as decimal including century (range 0000 to 9999)
* %% literal '%'
* </pre>
*
* @param int $day
* the day of the month
* @param int $month
* the month
* @param int $year
* the year. Use the complete year instead of the
* abbreviated version. E.g. use 2005, not 05.
* Do not add leading 0's for years prior to 1000.
* @param string $format
* the format string
*
* @return string the date in the desired format
*
* @access public
* @static
