[Typo3] BE Date Input Format (US Date)

[Jeff Segars]

Hey John,
I've made the same mod and its worked well for me too.

Just wanted to let you kno that we should have a non-patched solution 
for US dates when the next TYPO3 release rolls around.  Kasper has added 
a variable for US date format to TYPO3_CONF_VARS that makes the 
switching automatic.  It hasn't made it into CVS yet, but I'm hoping to 
see it in the next release.
