I don't know.  Something core.  maybe qof-date.c?

Okay, there are two things that need to happen from the scheme side:

1) we need to export gnc_default_strftime_format.  This would mean swigifying
   the C symbol and exporting it to the Scheme environment.  Let's say the
   scheme variable is gnc-default-strftime-format.
2) We need to go through every report and replace "%B %e, %Y" with
   (_ gnc-default-strftime-format) in all the report option generators.

I was sorta hoping I could convince you to make these changes ;)

No, I cannot test this on windows.

Yes indeed!   Thanks!
