     * Class: $.jqplot.DateAxisRenderer
     * A plugin for a jqPlot to render an axis as a series of date values.
     * This renderer has no options beyond those supplied by the <Axis> class.
     * It supplies its own tick formatter, so the tickOptions.formatter option
     * should not be overridden.
     * 
     * Thanks to Ken Synder for his enhanced Date instance methods which are
     * included with this code <http://kendsnyder.com/sandbox/date/>.
     * 
     * To use this renderer, include the plugin in your source
     * > <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="plugins/jqplot.dateAxisRenderer.js"></script>
     * 
     * and supply the appropriate options to your plot
     * 
     * > {axes:{xaxis:{renderer:$.jqplot.DateAxisRenderer}}}
     * 
     * Dates can be passed into the axis in almost any recognizable value and 
     * will be parsed.  They will be rendered on the axis in the format
     * specified by tickOptions.formatString.  e.g. tickOptions.formatString = '%Y-%m-%d'.
     * 
     * Accecptable format codes 
     * are:
