Another dismal dumb-fuck stooge performance.

For every line of python there is a thousand lines of C
that is created.

Furthermore, he doesn't even understand the computer science
behind the problem and therefore his solution will scale
miserably.

Here is the OUTLINE of an extremely efficient solution
in C.  Because of the subtleties involved, I am not going
to waste my time providing actual code.

On Unix systems, a date is an integer (epoch).  Therefore,
first convert the textual date into an integer using the
C mktime() function.

Then the integer array is rapidly sorted to find the min/max.

This method will scale to BILLIONS of dates in only a few seconds,
whereas python will require WEEKS of run time.
