Listing FreeBSD extentions as such in utilities

[Tom Rhodes <trhodes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

I was working on a script to be used on Solaris, FreeBSD, and
Linux.  Quickly I noticed that Linux and Solaris seem to lack
a -v option.  Further checking on the OpenGroup website showed
that POSIX date does not support options we have in date(1).
Patch attached, good/bad?  Perhaps "Tom, you are wasting our
time?"
