Unlike the SimpleDateFormat class than allows the two digit
starting date to be set and returned via the methods
set2DigitYearStart and get2DigitYearStart respectively, there
is no similar support in the DateFormat class. This prevents
setting the two digit date start for any of the predefined
date formats short, medium, long and full.

This is very easily fixed by modifying the DateFormat class:
1. Add the methods set2DigitYearStart and get2DigitYearStart
   copied from SimpleDateFormat.
2. Modify the private get method to call
   SimpleDateFormat.set2DigitYearStart if the private
   java.util.Date object set by set2DigitYearStart is non
   null.
