rcs.sty v2.9 does not pick up a babel redefined \today since it expands
\today (in an \xdef) before babel redefines it. Below is a patch which
seems to work, but has not been extensively tested.
Also note that since rcs.sty is under revision control, I didn't feel like
tinkering with the revision numbers, so I haven't chnaged any file date
and information data and will leave that up to the maintainer if he
wishes to include my patch.
The diff is below my sig
