Convert timestamp (UTC?) to UNIX timestamp using JQuery

Question

I'm pulling dates from a web service using JQuery and they look like this:

2013-05-20T23:59:59+01:00

Is there a quick way to convert this format to a UNIX timestamp using JQuery? So it looks like this:

1369090799

This is just plain JavaScript. No need of jQuery in this case. You can do

var date = '2013-05-20T23:59:59+01:00'
alert(Date.parse(date)/1000)
