Subject: Formatting date without leading zeros

I've tried to do the best research I can into this before posting here,
but I have come up relatively short. I would like to format a DateTime
such that the day of the month and hours that are less than ten are not
prefixed with a leading zero (ex. Jan 4 9:30 and not Jan 04 09:30).

Is there any way to use DateTime#strftime to do this, or any
alternative short of piecing the bits together with calls like
thedate.month + " " + thedate.day?

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Tom Reinhart
