	* libnautilus-extensions/nautilus-file.c:
	(nautilus_file_fit_date_as_string),
	(nautilus_file_fit_modified_date_as_string),
	(nautilus_file_get_date_as_string):
	* libnautilus-extensions/nautilus-file.h:
	Add a new function that returns a modified date string,
	formatted to fit a given width. Make the old
	nautilus_file_get_date_as_string call it.

	* src/file-manager/fm-list-view.c: (measure_width_callback),
	(trucante_middle_callback), (get_cell_text), (set_up_list):
	Hook up to the get_cell_text signal. For modified text return
	a nicely formatted text string, for everything else just
	ellipsize the result.
