Comment:

 This is great. The only question I have about it is that the time strings
 output by the JS library are not the same as we currently generate:
 "1 week, 4 days ago" becomes "12 days ago"
 "3 weeks, 3 days ago" becomes "25 days ago"
 "3 months, 1 week ago" becomes "3 months ago"
 "7 months, 4 weeks ago" becomes "8 months ago"

 It appears, from the localization file, that the JS library uses the
 increments:
 a few seconds ago (less than a minute)
 ## minutes (up to an hour)
 ## hours (up to a day)
 ## days (up to a month)
 ## months (up to a year)
 ## years

 It suits me, but are we OK with this change? (Devs can always have the old
 strings back by dequeueing the js files.)
