This is exactly what I was looking for. Did I overread why this special date 
is supposed to be date "0"? From a simple point of view I would have expected 
it to be all zeros. Date gives:
jankoh@kohni ~ $ date -d 0 "+%Y%m%d%H%M%SZ"
20110216000000Z
jankoh@kohni ~ $ 
which was today 0 o'clock.

Thanks again and best regards.
