Adjusting file last modified date

[Gilles Caulier]

The BQM tool is the old Adjust Date and time tool from KIPI. Some code
adapted to BQM.

The only difference that we need to fix is the capability to preview
the date change in list of file from BQM queue. There is already a
file in bugzilla about this subject.
