I need to change the date/time pattern for a locale.

I know you can use the SimpleDateFormat object to specify a pattern, but I
would like to change the pattern for a locale so that the locale uses the
pattern I specify, not the default.

In particular the en_US locale specifies the date format to be M/d/yy.  I
would like the US locale format to be MM/dd/yyyy.

Thanks!
