A solution tested with windows uptime.exe, FreeBSD and Linux.  It should
work with most of the others and in most of the edge cases, I think.

#! /usr/local/bin/ruby

def startup(t)
  u = (t.downcase.match(/up(.*?)(?:\d+ user.*)?$/)[1])
  lu = u.split(/([0-9:]+)/).map { |e| e.strip.gsub(/,/, '') }.reject { |e| e == '' }
  count = 0
  lu.each_index do |i|
    count += case lu[i]
             when /(\d+):(\d+)(?::(\d+))?/
               $1.to_i * 3600 + $2.to_i * 60 + ($3 ? $3.to_i : 0)
             when /(\d+)/
               n = lu[i].to_i
               case lu[i + 1]
               when nil     then raise "Unknown format"
               when /^day/  then n * 86400
               when /^hour/ then n * 3600
               when /^min/  then n * 60
               when /^sec/  then n
               else              raise "Unknown modifier (#{lu[i + 1]})"
               end
             else
               0
             end
  end
  Time.now - count
end

[ `uptime`,
  '11:40:08 up 15 days, 16:08,  1 user,2  load average: 0.06, 0.04, 0.01',
  '\\LAPHROAIG has been up for: 25 day(s), 13 hour(s), 46 minute(s), 10 second(s)'
].each { |c| puts startup(c).strftime('%c') }
