This function parses the string {\it date} according to the given
{\it format}. The system {\tt strptime(3)} function is used whenever available,
-but even if it is not, this function is still implemented (although support
-for locale-dependent format specificators such as {\tt "\%c"}, {\tt "\%x"} or
-{\tt "\%X"} may be not perfect). This function does handle the month and
-weekday names in the current locale on all platforms, however.

The {\it dateDef} parameter is used to fill in the fields which could not be
-determined from the format string. For example, if the format is {\tt "\%d"}
-(the day of the month), the month and the year are taken from {\it dateDef}.
-If it is not specified, \helpref{Today}{wxdatetimetoday} is used as the
+determined from the format string. For example, if the format is {\tt "\%d"} (the
