[Mono-list] Patch for DataTime.cs

[Alan Tam]

The patch for DateTime.cs applied. Thank you.

However, for the patch on DateTimeFormatInfo.cs, I found both the pre-patch and
post-patch implementations wrong. [Short/Long] [Date/Time] should inherit from
the format specified by the system, i.e. control panel in Windows and LC_TIME
in Linux. (This conclusion is based on my test in MS implementation.) Please
discuss.

Regards,
Alan

* DateTime.cs: FileTime is expressed in Universal time, and as such must
be converted
before subtracting the magic offset.

* DateTime.cs: Strings in the format "2003-02-27T10:05:03-11:00" (note
the timezone
at the end) *must* be parsed by DateTime.Parse() for compatibility with
Microsoft. This came up in my work with XML [de]serialization, which
I'll send a patch for shortly

* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs: The date time format patterns didn't match MS
output.

As soon as I can figure out how to run the test system, I'd be happy to.
Can you point a newbie like me at a web page or something to look at?

Is the above what you're looking for? If not, let me know.
