Date formatter not using Zend_Locale

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

The Date formatter can use Zend_Locale if set in Registry. Here is the
possible change of original the Date.php formatter

line 36:
} elseif (is_array($options)) {  <<-- changed
  foreach($options as $k=>$v){
    switch($k){
    case 'locale':
      $this->locale = $v;
      break;
    case 'date_format':
     $this->date_format = $v;
     break;
    case 'type':
     $this->type = $v;
     break;
    default:
// changed for translation
      throw new Exception($this->__("Unknown option '$k'."));
    }
   }
// added start
  } else {
    if (Zend_Registry::isRegistered('Zend_Locale')) {
      $this->locale = Zend_Registry::get('Zend_Locale');
    }
// added end
  }
