I have dates like "8/27" or "9/4", and I need to convert them to date
objects.

When choosing a year, we should go backwards until we find the first
match. That is, if the script runs on Jan 1, 2008 and encounters the
string "8/27", it should return a date for "8/27/2007".

I've been playing around with strtodate and some other functions but I
can't figure this out, and as there must be a simple solution I'd like
to avoid writing a custom function.

Thanks for any help,
cpp
