[Mono-list] Patch for DataTime.cs

[Alan Tam]

Elan,

Please update your cvs to see if my patch solved these two. I suppose it does.

My patch does a bit more, because a DateTime may not only hold a dateTime, but
also some other types, so it should be able to parse them too. As a result,
there is a huge list of formats to test for.

I am now looking at your corlib patches.

Regards,
Alan
