Patch for /trunk/dates/date-functions.js

[GoogleCodeExporter]

FIX: get the month names from the configured(possibly translated) lists
FIX: added some pattern modifiers so month names could be less strict 
parsed(case-insensitive for example). Implemented modifiers:ignoreCase(so jan 
would be equivalent to jAN), start(start with a certain date format, ignores 
the rest), end, contains, resetDay(if no day was specified, its assumes to be 
'1' instead of current day)
NEW: the function is created bu using new Function instead of eval(). We can 
try and catch parse errors this way, and according to some tests its a little 
faster than eval(http://jsperf.com/function-vs-constructor-vs-eval)
NEW: monthNames, dayNames can now be translated(it can parse from multiple 
languages now). The first defined trnaslation is the one used by the date 
formatter. Added translations for ["ro","en","ua","hu","bg","ru"]
