Description:
------------
The default datestring format returned by MS-SQL 2000 through the MS-SQL support in PHP 5.2.3 (Ubuntu package) using the provided FreeTDS library contains milliseconds that are separated with a colon, not a dot. This breaks the parsing of the datestring in strtotime(), which only seems to allow milliseconds separated by a dot. For compatibility it would be great if strtotime() also could parse these strings.

This is the format returned by MS-SQL 2000 from a datetime column:
Aug 27 2007 12:00:00:000AM

I hereby request that strtotime() should be able to parse this string, with our without the AM/PM (using 12 h or 24 h-format). For compatibility issues it would probably also be good if strtotime() could parse the string Aug 27 2007 12:00:00.000AM, since it for now doesn't allow the 12 h-format together with milliseconds.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00:000AM");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00.000AM");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00:000");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00.000");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00AM");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00AM"); 

Expected result:
----------------
TIME: 1188162000 
TIME: 1188162000 
TIME: 1188205200
TIME: 1188205200
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000 

Actual result:
--------------
TIME:
TIME:
TIME:
TIME: 1188205200
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
