[TYPO3-project-4-3] ExtJS Date-picker for TCEFORMS

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi,

+1 Masi on your vision! :)

- Relaxed parsing (allowing copy&paste from other apps!)
- respecting "US-format" setting
- some minor configuration for output formating (date separator, time
before or after date and that is all)

With recognizing Y-m-d, you mean 4-digit-year, right? Because if now
there is no way to know what 08-04-03 means (3-april-2008 or 8-april-2003).

Cheers,
Ernesto
