Why not a time_put/strftime pattern string?
os << date::set_format( "%B %d,%Y %w %H:%M%:%S" ) << adate;

Agree - iostream and locale support are fundamental. A to_string
function is a convenience that can be built on top of streams:
std::string date::to_string( const char *format = "%x",
std::locale loc = std::locale() )
{
std::ostringstream os;
os.imbue( loc );
os << set_format( format ) << *this;
return os.str();
}
