[Building Sakai] Change proposal for 2.8: export_filename_date_format (i18n to configuration)

[Beth Kirschner]

I would suggest formatting the date automatically, leveraging the Java  
DateFormat.getDateFormat() which takes Locale as an argument. The  
resulting date string can then be transformed into a suitable filename  
by removing spaces. Automating this would be one less thing to worry  
about when localizing Sakai.
