finding out time format of menu bar clock

Does anyone know a way to determine programmatically in Cocoa whether
or not the user has set the "use a 24-hour clock" option in the Date
& Time preferences pane? Accessing NSTimeFormatString through
NSUserDefaults gives you the time format for the current locale, not
the menu bar clock. I would like to be able to see what the user is
using in the menu bar, and then have my application show the time in
the same format. I couldn't figure out where this information is
stored - presumably in a plist somewhere.

Thanks for any pointers,

Don
