Proposed new KDateTime class

[David Jarvie]

Now that the time zone classes have been updated, there is a need to be able 
to handle date/times which have an associated time zone. I attach a proposed 
new kdecore class, KDateTime, which represents a date/time with an associated 
time zone. The aim is to make time zone handling as automatic as possible 
when manipulating dates and times. Its interface is very similar to 
QDateTime, but it is not inherited from QDateTime mainly because QDateTime's 
methods are not virtual.

The code compiles, but I until I finish the test program is untested. Note 
that if the new class is committed, the time zone classes will need to be 
amended to handle the new class.

Comments please. (Note that I am going away and won't be able to respond for a 
few days.)
