At present, the only formats that Phobos supports are ISO, ISO Extended, and
Boost's simple time format. It does not yet have support for custom
date/time formatting beyond constructing the string yourself from the
properties on a DateTime or SysTime.

This was posted about recently in the Announce group though:

It might do what you want.
