Thanks for that info!

Just run this command:

$ LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 locale alt_mon
Ιανουάριος;Φεβρουάριος;Μάρτιος;Απρίλιος;Μάιος;Ιούνιος;Ιούλιος;Αύγουστος;Σεπτέμβριος;Οκτώβριος;Νοέμβριος;Δεκέμβριος

Do you know if there is a strftime() conversion specification available 
yet, similar to %B, which refers to this new alt_mon component in the 
locale definitions?
