Using Local Date Settings

I am looking for information on how to get squeak to
use the locale settings for dates. I have found the
Locale classes, but I can't make sense of how to use
it to set squeak wide settings either based on the OS
or some parameter I can pass in. 

As an example, if I use '05/10/2007' asDate, I get a
Date object of '10 May 2007' rather than '5 October
2007'. I could code it myself, but surely someone has
done this already.

I appreciate any help or documentation.

Thanks,

Jack
