Relative Dates & Times

[eluser]tribalab[/eluser]
I'm working on the message/mail part of my application and I'd like to show messages in a users inbox with relative dates. My dates are coming from MySQL Timestamps.

Next to each message I'd like to see something like "Today", "Yesterday", or "September 25, 2007". I looked into the CI datehelper, but it's not currently one of the things that are in there. Doing a quick google turned up some ugly ways of getting this, but there are issues with DST. Anyone have a solid function that achieves this result without these problems?

Cheers!

What would the implications be in porting the following to CI?
