added support for optional [date] parameter for MFP plugin

[edillingham]

uses python-dateutil to parse date strings instead of requiring a strict format

[edwardslabs]

For this one instead of adding a new requirement could you see if you could use the timeformat.py and timeparse.py in cloudbot/util/?

It does a nice job of formating time strings. Check remind.py for examples.

Whoops didn't mean to close this.

It doesn't look like cloudbot.util.time_parse supports anything to do with dates, which is what the plugin requires. I can remove the requirement and add a custom date parser if that's what the project prefers, but should we really reinvent the wheel?
