function! ingo#date#epoch#ConvertTo( date )
" Unfortunately, Vim doesn't have a built-in function to convert an
" arbitrary date to the Unix Epoch, and that is the only format which is
" accepted by strftime(). Therefore, we need to rely on the Unix "date"
" command (named "unixdate" on Windows; you need to have e.g. the GNU Win32
" port installed).
return str2nr(system(printf('%s -d %s +%%s', (ingo#os#IsWinOrDos() ? 'unixdate' : 'date'), ingo#compat#shellescape(a:date))))
