Ben S 2906b8676a Translate month names into the user's locale
This has been mostly done with changes in the datetime crate's suddenly
supporting locales.

It's still important that the user's locale is touched only once and
cached from that point on, so a struct in output::details has been made
public, along with that module. This will change later as that object
gains more and more uses thoughout the codes.

Installation

exa is written in Rust. You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple cargo build will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa.

exa depends on libgit2 for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing --no-default-features to Cargo.
